This study outlines systems-based practice education for plastic surgery residents, emphasizing resourcefulness and healthcare system awareness. It proposes a curriculum including lectures and discussions to enhance graduate medical education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Systems Science
  • Plastic Surgery Training

Background:

  • Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education mandates six core competencies for residents.
  • Systems-based practice, a key competency, requires awareness of and responsiveness to the healthcare system.
  • Plastic surgery's inherent involvement with healthcare economics and resource allocation makes it ideal for systems-based practice education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and expand the concept of systems-based practice for plastic surgery residency.
  • To propose specific educational objectives, programs, and learning goals for this competency.
  • To suggest methods for curriculum delivery and evaluation in graduate medical education.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual expansion of systems-based practice.

  • Development of educational objectives tailored to plastic surgery.
  • Proposal of a curriculum structure including didactic lectures, small group discussions, and grand rounds.
  • Outline of potential time allocation and evaluation strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • A comprehensive definition of systems-based practice applied to plastic surgery is presented.
    • Specific learning objectives for training programs and individual residents are detailed.
    • A structured educational framework with suggested activities and assessments is proposed.

    Conclusions:

    • Plastic surgery training should pioneer systems-based practice education due to its complex resource management.
