Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Ethics
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Modern surgery faces complex ethical challenges due to technological advancements and increased patient autonomy.
  • Ethics education for surgical residents is often unstandardized and insufficient, highlighting a critical need for improvement.
  • The Resident Immersion in Surgical Ethics (RISE) curriculum was developed to address these educational gaps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a standardized, comprehensive surgical ethics curriculum for general surgery residents.
  • To enhance residents' ethical knowledge, confidence, and application of ethical principles in clinical practice.
  • To address the identified needs for improved ethics education within surgical residency programs.

Main Methods:

  • A needs assessment survey informed the design of the RISE curriculum.
  • The curriculum integrates quarterly Ethics Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) Forums, case-based didactic sessions, and role-play simulations with standardized patients.
  • Post-implementation surveys assessed changes in residents' ethical knowledge, confidence, and skill application.

Main Results:

  • Prior to the curriculum, only 28% of residents felt confident applying ethical principles, and 28% reported minimal ethics discussions.
  • Following implementation, 86% of residents reported improved understanding of ethical concepts, and 75% felt more confident navigating ethical dilemmas.
  • 91% of residents attended two or more educational sessions, indicating strong engagement with the new curriculum.

Conclusions:

  • The RISE curriculum effectively addresses critical gaps in surgical ethics education using a theory-driven, multimodal approach.
  • The curriculum aligns with resident needs and the realities of contemporary surgical practice.
  • Future enhancements will include advanced topics and interdisciplinary involvement to ensure continued relevance and comprehensiveness.
