Immediate Surgical Skills Feedback in the Operating Room Using "SurF" Cards.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ensuring residents develop operative skills requires application of the principles of guided learning, deliberate practice, and directed feedback.

Objective

We sought to create and implement a tool to promote procedural "key" step review and immediate feedback on surgical skills, and examined faculty and resident satisfaction with surgical skills feedback.

Methods

We created surgical skills feedback (SurF) cards for 8 gynecologic procedures. Faculty/fellows and residents completed prestudy surveys querying frequency of preoperative key step review and satisfaction with surgical skill feedback, a SurF card each time 1 of 8 procedures was performed, and poststudy surveys to evaluate for changes.

Results

Prestudy surveys were completed by 31 faculty/fel
