Background: The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, through the CanMEDS 2000 project has identified the role of professional as 1 of 7 roles for which physicians are expected to be accountable when dealing with patients. Each specialty is responsible for defining this role relative to their specialty.
Methods: The qualities of professionalism for anaesthesiology were defined through a Delphi process involving Canadian anaesthesiology educators. The panellists took part in 3 rounds that identified qualities in 3 distinct areas of professionalism - humanistic qualities, personal development qualities and anaesthesiology meta-competences.
Results: A total of 23 of 29 anaesthesiologists responded (79%) in round 1, with response rates to rounds 2 and 3 being 72% and 69%, respectively. Of the original 36 qualities, some were combined, definitions were changed in 23, 11 qualities were added and 4 were deleted, leaving a list of 40 qualities.
Discussion: There is considerable interest in this issue among the Canadian educators in postgraduate anaesthesiology. Consensus on important professional qualities for anaesthesiologists was obtained through the Delphi technique. These qualities will form the basis of identifiable professional behaviours to which anaesthesiologists should aspire.

Introduction: Feedback literacy (FBL) is a critical skill for learners encompassing four behaviors: appreciating feedback, making judgements, managing affect, and taking action. Little guidance has been available for clinical preceptors to promote FBL. The R2C2 feedback and coaching model that guides teachers through building Relationships, exploring Reactions and Reflections, discussing Content and Coaching to co-develop an action plan for follow-up may support FBL.

Background: Multimodal prehabilitation programs are effective at reducing complications after colorectal surgery in patients with a high risk of postoperative complications due to low aerobic capacity and/or malnutrition. However, high implementation fidelity is needed to achieve these effects in real-life practice. This study aimed to investigate the implementation fidelity of an evidence-based prehabilitation program in the real-life context of a Dutch regional hospital.

This study aims to provide an updated overview of medical error taxonomies by building on a robust review conducted in 2011. It seeks to identify the key characteristics of the most suitable taxonomy for use in high-fidelity simulation-based postgraduate courses in Critical Care. While many taxonomies are available, none seem to be explicitly designed for the unique context of healthcare simulation-based education, in which errors are regarded as essential learning opportunities.
