Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • The Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS) is at a critical juncture due to rapid, digitization-driven changes in healthcare.
  • These changes necessitate a strategic evolution for the APDS to effectively support surgical program directors.
  • The digitization of data is transforming healthcare systems, leading to increased oversight and demand for efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for a strategic path forward for the APDS amidst significant industry changes.
  • To introduce and champion the Educational Quality Improvement Project (EQIP) as a solution for enhancing surgical education.
  • To reaffirm the APDS's core principles of research and advocacy in navigating future challenges.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed solution, EQIP, is a continuous learning quality improvement program.
  • EQIP will be developed and implemented by program directors, for program directors.
  • Key components include a data gathering interface, data repository, analytics capability, and reporting platform.

Main Results:

  • EQIP aims to facilitate data-driven innovation in surgical education.
  • It will enable data-informed discussions regarding the future of general surgery.
  • A 2-year proof of concept journey for EQIP is commencing.

Conclusions:

  • The APDS must engage proactively to address challenges and foster resiliency.
  • Engagement through initiatives like EQIP can mitigate frustration and prevent burnout among program directors.
  • The APDS is well-positioned to lead improvements in surgical education through data-driven strategies.
