Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Many family practice residents lack awareness of general practitioner (GP) surgery and enhanced surgical skills (ESS) opportunities. Exposure to GP surgery during training significantly increases awareness and interest in ESS careers.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Family Medicine

Background:

  • Assessing awareness, exposure, and interest in general practitioner (GP) surgery and enhanced surgical skills (ESS) is crucial for family practice residents.
  • Understanding current knowledge gaps and interest levels can inform curriculum development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the awareness of, exposure to, and interest in GP surgery and ESS among family practice residents in Western Canada.
  • To identify factors influencing awareness and interest in surgical skills training.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to family practice residents at four universities in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
  • The survey collected demographic data, assessed awareness and exposure to GP surgery/ESS, and gauged interest in formal ESS training.

Main Results:

  • A significant portion of residents were unaware of GP surgery (9.9%) and ESS (17.9%).
  • Awareness and interest were higher among residents from rural backgrounds and those with prior exposure to GP surgery.
  • Only 38.2% had been exposed to GP surgery, but 25.1% were considering ESS training, citing factors like challenging medicine and patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced surgical skills (ESS) are not widely recognized as a career option among family practice residents.
  • Exposure to general practitioner (GP) surgery during residency is positively associated with increased awareness and interest in ESS.
  • Findings can guide the development of formal ESS training programs and family practice residency curricula.
