'Playing the game': How do surgical trainees seek feedback using workplace-based assessment?

Objectives: Although trainees and trainers find feedback interactions beneficial, difficulties in giving and receiving feedback are reported. Few studies have explored what drives trainees to seek feedback. This study explores how workplace-based assessments (WBAs) influence the ways surgical trainees seek feedback and feedback interactions.

Surgical Trainee Feedback-Seeking Behavior in the Context of Workplace-Based Assessment in Clinical Settings.

Purpose: To investigate surgical trainee feedback-seeking behaviors-directly asking for feedback (inquiry) and observing and responding to situational clues (monitoring)-in the context of workplace-based assessment (WBA).

Method: A hypothetical model of trainee feedback-seeking behavior was developed using existing literature. A questionnaire, incorporating previously validated instruments from organizational psychology, was distributed to general surgical trainees at 23 U.

Factors predicting trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity in a real-world population of women with HER2+ breast cancer.

Background: Trastuzumab may improve disease-free survival after chemotherapy for HER2-positive breast cancer. However, it carries a risk of cardiotoxicity and counseling patients about such risks is part of informed consent. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence has published guidelines for cardiac assessment before and during treatment with trastuzumab in order to minimize the risk of cardiotoxicity.

Successful glue embolization of a late type 1A endoleak causing abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture.
