Validation of a High-End Virtual Reality Simulator for Training Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumors
The oncological outcome in patients with bladder cancer (BC) significantly correlates with the quality of transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TUR-BT). Virtual reality (VR) training simulators have been developed to improve surgical skills. We evaluated the advantages and limitations of the novel Uro Trainer (UT) (Karl Storz GmbH, Germany) with respect to training for TUR-BT. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

New Trends at 25 Years: An American Board of Surgery Academic Certifying Examination Review Course
In the 1980s, a small research group began identifying variables affecting applicant success on the American Board of Surgery (ABS) Certifying Examination (CE). We now report success and trends as we complete 25 years. We had multiple challenges as identified through faculty focus groups and participant feedback that needed to be addressed: increase the national optics of the program, integrate new innovative experiences, maintain the integrity of the collected data on excel files, incorporate national trends in surgery, attract experienced clinical volunteer faculty and staff, security of capital, and schedule management....

Adaptation of the Communication Skills Attitude Scale (CSAS) to Surgical Residents in China
In modern China, conflicts between doctors and patients with their families have become increasingly serious. Lack of communication skills is one of the major challenges faced by many residents. Surgical residents' attitudes toward communication are of great significance to communication skills learning. The Communication Skills Attitude Scale (CSAS) is a widely validated and popularly used tool for assessing the attitudes of medical students toward communication skills. The aim of this study was to develop a Chinese version of the CSAS in order to explore attitudes toward communication skills among Chinese surgical reside...

Can Deficiencies in Performance Be Identified Earlier in Surgical Residency? An Initial Report of a Surgical Trainee Assessment of Readiness Exam
Identifying gaps in medical knowledge, patient management, and procedural competence is difficult early in surgical residency. We designed and implemented an end-of-year examination for our postgraduate year 1 residents, entitled Surgical Trainee Assessment of Readiness (STAR). Our objective in this study was to determine whether STAR scores correlated with other available indicators of resident performance, such as the American Board of Surgery in-training exam (ABSITE) and Milestone scores, and if they provided evidence of additional discriminatory value.

Lessons Learned From the Surgical Morbidity and Mortality Conference
OBJECTIVE: The Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conference is both a quality improvement and an educational conference. We sought to evaluate the educational and quality improvement value of different learners who attend the surgical M&M conference. Furthermore, we sought to evaluate if an educational intervention directed at medical students (MS) would improve their experience at this conference.DESIGN: Over a 2-month period, we used a third party, real-time audience polling software during 4 M&M conferences using questions concerning medical error, loop closure, learning value, applicability, and professionalism.
