Factors affecting operative autonomy and performance during otolaryngology training: A multicenter trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Surgical education is changing in an era of new regulations and evolving training cultures. We sought to understand the factors that affect operative experiences during otolaryngology residency.

Methods

From December 2019 to December 2020, five otolaryngology training programs used the SIMPL OR smartphone application to evaluate residents after each operation. Residents and attendings rated the trainee's autonomy on a 4-level Zwisch scale, performance on a 5-level scale, and case complexity on a 3-level scale. We examined associations between ratings of autonomy and performance with variables including postgraduate year (PGY), case complexity, gender, week of the academic year (AY), and whether multiple procedures were logged.

Results

78 attendings and 92 re
