“…Several authors reported a positive correlation with age, and they attributed this to increased maturity and life experience. 4,17 Conversely, other authors reported an inverse correlation between age and EI scores. 16,19 Jensen et al 19 theorized that regression of EI may be secondary to the stress and burnout encountered in surgical residency training.…”

“…4,[16][17][18][19] The content addressed both current and future residents; however, there was a predominant focus placed on current residents.

Summary:Significant and rapid changes in healthcare delivery are forcing surgeons into collaborative teams. Additionally, surgeons are faced with new bureaucratic requirements that do not directly impact patient care, but nevertheless require allocation of time and attention. Surgeons are required to communicate with an expanding group of individuals at various professional levels, adding further stress to daily tasks. Even the method of communication is undergoing rapid transformation. Some surgeons, especially those who are members of the Boomer or X Generation, find this revolution difficult to manage; whereas those who are members of the Y Generation may in fact be better equipped. Surgeons who either refuse to acknowledge these changes or simply lack emotional self-awareness run the risk of being labeled as disruptive. Behavioral techniques are explored which may help those surgeons who are having difficulty.
