    Surgical residents can utilize inexpensive microcomputer software to create four databases for tracking procedures, slides, references, and CVs. This system enhances data accuracy, recall, and reporting for residency completion and critical review.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Surgical Education

    Background:

    • Surgical residents are required to meticulously document procedures and supporting materials.
    • Maintaining organized records of procedures, photographic slides, bibliographic references, and curriculum vitae (CV) is essential for residency training and evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a cost-effective microcomputer-based database system for surgical residents.
    • To facilitate accurate record-keeping, data retrieval, and report generation for surgical residency programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed four distinct databases: surgical procedures, photographic slides, bibliographic references, and CV.
    • Modeled the surgical procedure database on board-recommended lists for accuracy.
    • Implemented keyword and procedure coding for structured slide retrieval.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Designed databases for flexible data manipulation to meet journal and institutional requirements.

    • Main Results:

    • The system enables accurate and complete recording of surgical procedures.
    • Structured data storage allows for efficient recall of photographic slides and bibliographic information.
    • Reports can be generated in formats suitable for board submissions and journal/institutional requirements.
    • Database maintenance is minimal, requiring only a few minutes daily and basic computer skills.

    Conclusions:

    • This microcomputer-based database system provides an accessible and organized solution for surgical residents' documentation needs.
    • Enhanced data accessibility supports critical review of clinical experience by residents and program directors.
    • The system streamlines the process of compiling and submitting residency-related documentation.
