Factors that Predict an Intern's First ABSITE Score are Known by September
Previous studies offer conflicting relevance of a variety of factors to predict resident performance on the The American Board of Surgery In-Training Exam (ABSITE). With numerous stellar applicants scoring poorly on their first ABSITE, we sought to identify key factors that might allow us to tailor pre-emptive study efforts in the fall and early winter to enhance scores.

Global Collaboration to Modernize Advanced Trauma Life Support Training
Each year, thousands of surgeons and other trauma health care providers participate in the American College of Surgeon's Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program, which historically has allowed trainees to practice cricothyroidotomy, chest tube insertion, pericardiocentesis, venous cutdown, and diagnostic peritoneal lavage on live dogs, pigs, sheep, and goats. However, more than 99% of ATLS programs in the United States and Canada have now ended animal use, driven primarily by simulation technology advancements. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

The Preferred Attributes of a Trauma Team Leader: Evidence From a Discrete Choice Experiment
Leaders of a pediatric trauma team are tasked with managing rapidly changing diagnostic and treatment challenges, while ensuring the entire team functions effectively to produce optimal patient outcomes. An effective trauma team leader is often thought to be self-evident, and there is little formal literature identifying the leadership characteristics and attributes associated with optimal trauma team performance. The purpose of this study was to elicit the trauma team leader traits and characteristics deemed of greatest utility by members of the pediatric trauma team. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Robotic Curriculum Enhances Minimally Invasive General Surgery Residents ’ Education
The popularization of the robotic platform has significantly impacted general surgery resident training as more cases transition from open or laparoscopic to robotic. Becoming robotically trained is growing in importance as more hospitals adopt the robotic platform.1,2,3 Some training programs lack proper integration of minimally invasive education either due to lack of exposure or expertise. This limits the graduating residents ’ minimally invasive skills which may hinder their scope of practice. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)
