    Surgical residents show a distinct learning profile, with the Converger style being most common. This finding offers a basis for tailored teaching and counseling in surgical education.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Surgical Training
    • Learning Styles

    Background:

    • Individualized instruction is crucial in medical education.
    • The Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) assesses learning preferences.
    • Previous studies identified learning styles in various medical specialties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine if a characteristic learning style profile exists for surgical personnel.
    • To investigate the prevalence of different Kolb LSI types within surgery.
    • To establish a foundation for specialized surgical education strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • The Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) was administered to 39 participants in surgical roles.
    • Data analysis focused on identifying the most prevalent learning style types among the participants.

    Main Results:

    • The Converger learning style was the most preferred among surgical personnel, identified in 46% of the group.
    • Accommodator (26%) and Assimilator (20%) were the next most common learning styles.
    • The Diverger learning style was least common, representing 8% of the study group.

    Conclusions:

    • A discernible learning style profile exists for individuals in surgical specialties.
    • This identifiable surgical learning style can inform curriculum development and resident advising.
    • Understanding surgical learning preferences may enhance the effectiveness of residency training programs.
