Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Healthcare Workforce Development

Background:

  • Newly qualified doctors face significant challenges transitioning to complex patient management and nuanced healthcare environments.
  • Surgical rotations present unique learning curves and demands for early-career physicians.
  • Optimizing surgical education is crucial for improving resident preparedness and patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the specific surgical skills training needs of medical students and early-career doctors.
  • To incorporate diverse stakeholder perspectives for a holistic view of surgical education.
  • To inform strategies for enhancing work preparedness in surgical rotations.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with final-year medical students, interns, and clinical educators.
  • Participants were recruited from five clinical schools affiliated with the University of Melbourne.
  • Multi-phased thematic analysis was employed to identify key themes in surgical training needs.

    • Main Results:

    • Thirty-seven participants (18 students, 8 interns, 11 educators) provided insights.
    • Discrepancies noted in emphasis on non-technical skills between trainees and educators.
    • Increased hands-on learning and structured teaching identified as crucial for confidence and preparedness.

    Conclusions:

    • Supervised, hands-on practical teaching is vital for interns to succeed in surgical rotations.
    • Addressing identified skill gaps can improve the transition for new doctors into surgical practice.
    • Further research across multiple medical schools is recommended for broader insights into Australian surgical education.
