Teaching assistant cases in general surgery training – A literature review - 20/06/22
Abstract |
Background |
There is a lack of understanding of the scope and purpose of teaching assistant cases, impact on patients and safety, as well as the facilitators or barriers to resident participation in these cases.
Methods |
Four databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Education Resources Information Center), were searched. The references of identified resources were additionally hand-searched. 10 articles were identified and considered in the literature review.
Results |
The TA case literature focuses on case numbers and safety. The discussions of papers allude to perceived benefits of TA cases. The literature review reveals that residents are more likely to be granted TA opportunities if they show themselves worthy of entrustment.
Conclusions |
The work elucidates aspects of TA cases that have not previously been emphasized or highlighted. The literature review can serve to inform attending surgeons and trainees how to optimize the opportunities teaching assistant cases can afford.
