Summary
Modern teaching methods like flipped classrooms and gamification significantly improve resident engagement and American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE) performance, optimizing surgical education.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Training
Background:
- Traditional teaching models struggle to engage millennial surgical residents.
- Assessing didactic effectiveness often relies on American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE) performance.
Approach:
- A PRISMA-guided literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, and JAMA Network (June 2011-June 2021).
- Studies focused on didactic structures and their impact on ABSITE scores were included.
Key Points:
- Sixteen studies were analyzed, highlighting modern didactic methods.
- Flipped classrooms, Team Based Learning (TBL), and gamification demonstrated increased resident engagement.
- Structured biostatistics reviews can enhance understanding of research and statistics.
Conclusions:
- Surgical residency programs should prioritize the quality of didactic formats over scheduled time.
- Optimizing educational structures with modern methods benefits resident development and performance.

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
