General Surgery Residents Competence and Autonomy in Core Vascular Surgery Procedures.
J Surg Educ
January 2025
Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, Wisconsin.
Objective: As vascular surgery has become increasingly sub-specialized, the scope of vascular care that general surgeons can be trained to provide has come into question. Thus, we sought to understand the competence and autonomy of general surgery residents (GSR) in core vascular surgery procedures.
Design: Three core operations in vascular surgery were identified: lower extremity (LE) amputations, arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation, and LE embolectomy and thrombectomy (thromboembolectomy).
Doing Less Later: Seniorization of General Surgery Resident Operative Experience in the Entrustable Professional Activities at Veterans Affairs Hospitals.
J Surg Educ
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri; John Cochran VA Medical Center, St. Louis, Missouri.
Objective: Identify changes in general surgery resident autonomy and resident postgraduate year (PGY) level in Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) cases over time.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: United States Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital system, 2004 to 2020.
Examining the learning curves in robotic cardiac surgery wet lab simulation training.
Interdiscip Cardiovasc Thorac Surg
December 2024
Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES), Center for HR & Education, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Simulation-based training has gained distinction in cardiothoracic surgery as robotic-assisted cardiac procedures evolve. Despite the increasing use of wet lab simulators, the effectiveness of these training methods and skill acquisition rates remain poorly understood.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare learning curves and assess the robotic cardiac surgical skill acquisition rate for cardiac and noncardiac surgeons who had no robotic experience in a wet lab simulation setting.
Needs Assessment for Public Health Competency in Infection Prevention and Control: Importance and Performance Analysis (IPA) of Infectious Disease Response Practitioners.
J Korean Med Sci
January 2025
Department of Preventive Medicine, Jeonbuk National University Medical School, Jeonju, Korea.
Background: The Field Epidemiology Training Program Frontline, initiated by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency in 2019, aims to enhance the competencies of infectious disease practitioners across 17 regions in South Korea. With the September 2024 amendment to the Infectious Disease Prevention Act mandating infectious disease prevention and crisis response training for government employees who are associated with infectious diseases responses, there is an urgent need to assess and optimize the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of such competency-based education programs amidst constraints of budget and manpower.
Methods: This study examined the educational needs and priorities of public health competencies among infectious disease practitioners.
Simulating success: Applying EPA assessments to simulation in surgical education.

Department of Surgery, Heersink School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL. Electronic address:
Entrustable professional activities are a competency-based evaluation framework which was deployed by the American Board of Surgery in 2023 to evaluate general surgical residents and provide a path to independent practice. Entrustable professional activity microassessments are based on 18 conditions which are core to being a practicing general surgeon, and most include multiple phases of care, such as preoperative care, intraoperative care, and postoperative care. These evaluations are an amalgam of all the clinical competencies, including medical knowledge and patient care skills.
