Development and Evaluation of a New Formative Assessment of Surgical Performance
Formative assessment of operative performance is a mandatory part of surgical training. Engagement with assessment is limited in part by the time-consuming nature and the high perceived stakes of current assessment tools. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Investigating the Effect of Simulator Functional Fidelity and Personalized Feedback on Central Venous Catheterization Training
To compare the effect of simulator functional fidelity (manikin vs a Dynamic Haptic Robotic Trainer [DHRT]) and personalized feedback on surgical resident self-efficacy and self-ratings of performance during ultrasound-guided internal jugular central venous catheterization (IJ CVC) training. In addition, we seek to explore how self-ratings of performance compare to objective performance scores generated by the DHRT system. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

“Tweet”-Format Writing Is an Effective Tool for Medical Student Reflection
Reflective writing during medical education allows for professional growth through retrospective analysis of experiential knowledge. However, these writing assignments can pose a challenge to millennial medical students who are more likely to assimilate knowledge through the use of innovative technology and who prefer their data in a concise format. Here, we present a novel, tweet-style reflective writing assignment to better engage the unique skill set of today ’s medical students. We analyzed the written content partway through the year to determine whether or not the format retains the impact of longer, more structure...

What Makes a Good Endoscopic Teacher: A Qualitative Analysis
Teaching learners to perform endoscopic procedures is challenging, yet effective endoscopy teaching practices are not well-described in the literature, and prior studies have focused on perspectives of supervising physicians rather than learners. We sought to characterize, from the perspective of endoscopy learners, endoscopic teaching behaviors perceived as beneficial and detrimental to learning using qualitative methods.

Perception Versus Reality in the Cost of Orthopedic Trauma Implants
This study aims to determine whether orthopedic attendings and residents accurately estimate device costs they are implanting in trauma cases and whether costs would influence their surgical device selection. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)
