Resident-Specific Morbidity Reduced Following ACS NSQIP Data-Driven Quality Program
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Milestone Project for general surgery provided a more robust method for developing and tracking residents ’ competence. This framework enhanced systematic and progressive development of residents’ competencies in surgical quality improvement. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Trauma Quality Improvement: Reducing Triage Errors by Automating the Level Assignment Process
Trauma patients are triaged by the severity of their injury or need for intervention while en route to the trauma center according to trauma activation protocols that are institution specific. Significant research has been aimed at improving these protocols in order to optimize patient outcomes while striving for efficiency in care. However, it is known that patients are often undertriaged or overtriaged because protocol adherence remains imperfect. The goal of this quality improvement (QI) project was to improve this adherence, and thereby reduce the triage error. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Evaluating Surgical Coaching: A Mixed Methods Approach Reveals More Than Surveys Alone
Traditionally, surgical educators have relied upon participant survey data for the evaluation of educational interventions. However, the ability of such subjective data to completely evaluate an intervention is limited. Our objective was to compare resident and attending surgeons ’ self-assessments of coaching sessions from surveys with independent observations from analysis of intraoperative and postoperative coaching transcripts.

Medical Students Teaching Medical Students Surgical Skills: The Benefits of Peer-Assisted Learning
Teaching surgical skills is a labor intensive process, requiring a high tutor to student ratio for optimal success, and teaching for undergraduate students by consultant surgeons is not always feasible. A surgical skills course was developed, with the aim of assessing the effectiveness of undergraduate surgical peer-assisted learning. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for Simulation Leaders: The Time Has Come
The time has come to move away from simulation educators who represent a convenience sample of available faculty and toward strategic selection of instructors who have demonstrated competency in the required knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) necessary for high-quality simulation instruction. This idea of demonstrating competence before independent practice is not new in medical education. For example, entrustable professional activities (EPAs) have been developed to describe units of professional practice that can be executed unsupervised by a learner once a specific competence has been attained and demonstrated, rat...
