The Forgotten Few
Board certification for a physician is a goal of an educational journey. A board-certified physician is a physician, who has completed a medical specialty educational program and an evaluation process approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties. In general surgery, the American Board of Surgery (ABS) establishes the final evaluation, consisting of 2 examinations; 1 written and 1 oral. The surgeon must pass both examinations and then comply with an ongoing certification process to be continuously ABS certified. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Using Individual Clinical Evaluations to Assess Residents ’ Clinical Judgment; Feasibility and Residents’ Perception
In surgical training, most assessment tools focus on advanced clinical decision-making or operative skill. Available tools often require significant investment of resources and time. A high stakes oral examination is also required to become board-certified in surgery. We developed Individual Clinical Evaluation (ICE) to evaluate intern-level clinical decision-making in a time- and cost-efficient manner, and to introduce the face-to-face evaluation setting.

Interprofessional Communication Goes Up When the Electronic Health Record Goes Down
The electronic health record (EHR) has been faulted for the erosion of interprofessional communication and the patient-physician relationship. Surgical residents may be susceptible to communication workarounds facilitated by the EHR, but the full extent is not well understood. A recent ransomware attack with the abrupt return to paper charting provided a unique opportunity to investigate the impact of the EHR on surgical residents ’ interprofessional communication. We sought to explore how surgical residents perceived communications during the 2-month period when the EHR was inaccessible. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)
