Behind The Knife: The Surgery Podcast

• Intern Bootcamp: Medical Students

  RE-RELEASE This was first published in 2023 but it's so good we are running it back! Buckle up, PGY-1’s! Intern year is starting whether you’re ready or not. Don’t fret, BTK has your back to make sure you dominate the first year of residency.  You’ve been a doctor for about 3.5 seconds, and suddenly that bright eyed, bushy-tailed medical student on service is looking to you for advice? Don’t fret, in this episode we’ll give you some tips for how to handle it. Hosts: Shanaz Hossain, Nina Clark Tips for new interns: REMEMBER HOW INTERNS DO AND DO NOT TEACH - Nobody, not even the med students, expect you to be an expert in everything or give a fully-planned formal lecture - You WILL however spend a ton of time working with students on your team – and via modeling and teachable moments, you can help them learn how it’s done! MODELING - Remember how hard everything has been in the few days since you started residency? Think about all the information you’ve picked up, tips and tricks you’re developing for efficiency, and best practices you’re learning in the care of your patients. ALL of these are things you can pass on to students. - Presentations, case prep, answering questions from senior members of the team are ALL excellent opportunities to teach (and show students how you learn yourself, so they can do it independently). TEACHABLE MOMENTS - Find small topics that you know or are getting to know well – things like looking at a CXR, CT scan, etc. - Once you’re getting more comfortable caring for specific disease processes, think about high yield lessons for students: - Acute trauma evaluation and management (ABCDE’s), appendicitis, diverticulitis, benign biliary disease all make great 5 minute chalk talks that you can have in your back pocket IN THE OR - Watch students practice skills, and try to give some feedback and tips that you use (you learned knot tying and suturing more recently than ANYONE else in the OR and probably have some tips that you’re still using to improve) - If you’re not sure where or why the student is struggling with a particular skill (like tying a knot), model doing it yourself in slow motion while watching them do it – often the side by side comparison can help you identify where they’re going astray BE THE RESIDENT YOU WISH YOU HAD - Refer to EVERYONE with respect - Model being a kind, conscientious, and curious physician - Try to find universal lessons and crossover topics that non-surgeons need to know - A great student makes their interns look even better – be explicit about how they can be successful, then advocate for them to have opportunities to show everything they’re learning!

• Intern Bootcamp: Resource Overload

  RE-RELEASE This was first published in 2023 but it's so good we are running it back! Buckle up, PGY-1’s! Intern year is starting whether you’re ready or not. Don’t fret, BTK has your back to make sure you dominate the first year of residency.  This episode, we’ll tackle the resources that you should know about to support your own learning throughout residency. Hosts: Shanaz Hossain, Nina Clark Tips for new interns: STRUCTURE YOUR STUDYING - 2 things you need to do: (1) develop a knowledge base and (2) answer questions - Knowledge base Pick a level-appropriate textbook, read it (ideally all of it) yearly.  Ideally, lead a little bit every day - 10 pages/day is a good goal to start with and you may need to adjust.  - Questions Do some questions every week – 50/week is a good goal to start Plan to do more questions closer to ABSITE! Consider storing everything you learn in one place – either a notebook you carry with you or a cloud-based note app Share this with others, use it to take notes while reading, doing cases, getting feedback, or gaining experience while taking care of patients every day. SPECIFIC RESOURCES  - Textbooks Sabiston: big book, very dense, with a lot of great information. Schwartz: shorter chapters, clinically oriented, ideal for junior residents Cameron: shorter chapters, clinically oriented, ideal for senior residents - ABSITE review books Fiser: Classic, packed with facts but can be difficult to read, good for looking things up quickly BTK ABSITE Companion: https://www.amazon.com/Behind-Knife-ABSITE-Review-Companion-ebook/dp/B0CLBZ273F/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3382SFZ81ZHKA&keywords=absite+review+behind+the+knife&qid=1698106031&sprefix=absite+review+behind+the+knife%2Caps%2C64&sr=8-2 - Question banks TrueLearn: high quality, can be pricy depending on program  SCORE: written/edited by ABS, free for subscribing programs LEARN HOW TO OPERATE?? - Carry suture and a needle driver with you and practice basic moves - Consider a home suture kit for practice when you don’t want to be in sim lab – BTK released one this year - Use VIDEOS to ensure learning things the correct way!

• Intern Bootcamp: The First Day

  RE-RELEASE This was first published in 2023 but it's so good we are running it back! Buckle up, PGY-1’s! Intern year is starting whether you’re ready or not. Don’t fret, BTK has your back to make sure you dominate the first year of residency. First up, the first day of intern year. Hosts: Shanaz Hossain, Nina Clark Tips for new interns: BRING WHAT YOU NEED Name badge Scrubs, white coat, and extra clinic clothes Comfortable shoes - even on clinic days Pager Phone Pen Bonus stuff that’s good to keep in your bag: Snacks, extras of everything, toothbrusth/toothpaste/deodorant, suture  STAY ORGANIZED Preround purposefully and systematically  Look at the same things in the same order every day on every patient Write data in the same physical location on your sheet so you can quickly find information on the fly  Keep track of to-do’s from rounds Check box system:  Nina’s system: empty = not done, half full = ordered/needs follow up, full = completely done and followed up on  Don’t forget to look at the results of imaging studies, labs, or consults after they are entered!  Prioritize urgent/emergent things first, then consults and discharges, then routine orders, then notesAs you get more efficient, start drafting your notes as you pre-round – it will save you lots of time later in the afternoon!  OWN THE FLOOR  During the day, be ready to shift your priorities as urgent issues arise.  Develop a system for remembering what happened after rounds so you can quickly update seniors Shanaz’s system: One color for AM rounds, a different color for afternoon events Load the boat! Your team is there to help you. If you are concerned about someone or have a question, ask. There is truly no better time than as an intern. Master the art of getting your seniors’ attention in the OR - be conscientious, be clear in what you’re asking, and be prepared to report back about urgent findings!  Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.  If you liked this episode, check out our new how-to video series on suture and knot-tying skills - https://behindtheknife.org/video-playlists/btk-suture-practice-kit-knot-tying-simulator-how-to-videos/

• Journal Review in Surgical Education: Resident Autonomy in the Good Ole Days

  In this surgical education episode, the Cleveland Clinic General Surgery Education Team explores the past, present, and future of resident autonomy in the operating room. With guest colorectal surgeons Dr. Tracy Hull (recently retired) and Dr. David Rosen (early career faculty), we discuss how autonomy was granted in “the good ole days,” how educational culture and institutional pressures shape current practice, and what thoughtful autonomy looks like moving forward. Through candid stories—from emergent cases and missed enterotomies to thumbtacks pulled off the wall to stop bleeding—we get a nuanced look at what surgical independence really means, and how to responsibly develop it. Join hosts Pooja Varman, MD, Judith French, PhD, and Jeremy Lipman, MD, MHPE, for this conversation about what it means to train competent, confident, and independent surgeons. Learning Objectives By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to  1.     Define operative autonomy and its educational value in surgical training 2.     Identify barriers to providing resident autonomy in modern surgical environments 3.     Discuss strategies for tailoring autonomy to the skill level and readiness of the trainee 4.     Describe approaches to communicating resident involvement to patients References 1.     Sehat AJ, Oliver JB, Yu Y, Kunac A, Anjaria DJ.
