Abstrakt: Objective: A paucity of formal leadership training programs exists for residents, and outcomes of those are limited in reporting. Based on a robust needs assessment, our program created a longitudinal cohort curriculum, Future Surgical Leaders, for residents and fellows of all levels to provide training in nontechnical skills. Our objective was to evaluate surgical resident short-term outcomes and satisfaction with the Future Surgical Leaders (FSL) curriculum.
Design: Participants were sent a brief survey after each session of the curriculum from October 2020 to February 2022. The data was compiled after seventeen months of delivery. Likert Scale responses and text comments were analyzed with a 2-sample t-test and 2-way analysis of variance.
Setting: Academic tertiary institution.
Participants: General surgery residents.
Results: Survey response rate from 54 sessions among all postgraduate year levels was 73%. Overall, 96% of residents/fellows either "agreed" or "strongly agreed" that the topics of the FSL curriculum were important to learn during surgical training. Only 24% of learners knew "a lot" or "a great deal" about the topics prior to the session which rose to 73% afterwards (p < 0.01). Each postgraduate year class showed statistically significant increase in knowledge. About 80% of learners wanted to investigate these topics further. Open comment questions identified themes requesting delivery of specific sessions earlier in residency training and positive overall attitudes toward the FSL curriculum.
Conclusions: FSL is a satisfactory means of teaching leadership skills to surgical residents. Residents recognize the need to develop leadership skills prior to entering practice and want to learn more. The FSL curriculum may be considered for application at other surgical training programs.
