Examining the Impact of Using the SIMPL Application on Feedback in Surgical Education
The System for Improving and Measuring Procedural Learning (SIMPL) smartphone application allows physicians to provide dictated feedback to surgical residents. The impact of this novel feedback medium on the quality of feedback is unknown. Our objective was to compare the delivery and quality of best-case operative performance feedback given via SIMPL to feedback given in-person. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Team-Based Learning in the Surgery Clerkship: Impact on Student Examination Scores, Evaluations, and Perceptions
There is little evidence for effectiveness of team-based learning (TBL) in specialties such as Surgery. We developed and instituted TBLs in surgery clerkship and compared National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Surgery Subject Exam scores before and after implementation. We also analyzed students ’ feedback for their perception of TBLs. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Effects and Consequences of Being an OSCE Examiner in Surgery —A Qualitative Study
Even though objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a well-investigated format for competency-based practical examination, only a few studies have explored the motivations of OSCE examiners and their opinions, both positive and negative, toward being an examiner. The aim of this study was to gain insights into the views of OSCE examiners using semi-structured interviews. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Introduction to Open Surgical Skills Curriculum: Randomized Trial of Self-Paced vs Group Video Tutorial Viewing
At our residency program, incoming interns are traditionally taught fundamental open surgical skills like suturing and knot tying in a group setting by viewing 12 instructional videos consecutively followed by individual baseline skill testing. We sought to evaluate if introduction to open surgical skills via self-paced viewing of video tutorials, as opposed to traditional group viewing, results in improved surgical skill acquisition in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) interns as measured by higher proficiency score with decreased workload stress and anxiety.
