Meta-Analysis of Surgeon Burnout Syndrome and Specialty Differences
Surgeon burnout compromises the quality of life of physicians and the delivery of care to patients. Burnout rates and interpretation of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) complicates the interpretation of surgeon burnout. The purpose of this study is to apply a standardized interpretation of severe surgeon burnout termed, “burnout syndrome” to analyze inherent variation within surgical specialties.

High-Fidelity Emergency Department Thoracotomy Simulator With Beating-Heart Technology and OSATS Tool Improves Trainee Confidence and Distinguishes Level of Skill
Resuscitative Thoracotomy or Emergency Department Thoracotomy (EDT) is a time-sensitive and potentially life-saving procedure. Yet, trainee experience with this procedure is often limited in both clinical and simulation settings. We sought to develop a high-fidelity EDT simulation module and assessment tool to facilitate trainee education. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Skewed Groups, Implicit Sex Bias, and Trainee Evaluations
The recent publication by Fassiotto et al., reinforces yet another challenge for female academic surgeons and those in other “low representation” specialties: that of bias in evaluations by trainees.1,2 In this new study, the “threshold” value for female representation in specialties was based upon American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) demographic data and the mean percentage of female faculty across all specialties included in the AAMC sample. The cut point of 32.6% has an interesting congruency with male-dominant groups moving from skewed to tilted when approximately 35% of members of a group are women....
