This study highlights the importance of prioritizing both patient care and surgical education in academic thoracic surgery residency programs. Effective teaching strategies, including crew resource management principles and robust evaluation systems, are crucial for developing future surgical leaders.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Training

Background:

  • Academic thoracic surgery programs face the dual challenge of delivering high-quality patient care and effective resident education.
  • A structured operating room environment, akin to cockpit resource management in aviation, is vital for surgical success.
  • Current residency programs require comprehensive evaluation methods for both residents and faculty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the principles and practices for an effective thoracic surgery residency program.
  • To emphasize the integration of patient safety, teaching excellence, and faculty/resident evaluation.
  • To share insights from the Division of Cardiac Surgery at The Johns Hopkins Hospital on the art and science of surgical teaching.

Main Methods:
