“…A recent study showed that meaningful operative autonomy declined for residents within their dedicated research time. 22 Unfortunately, no residents were included that did not complete a period of dedicated research, therefore is unknown whether this would recover to the same level at the end of the residency for both groups.…”

“…Moreover, the results of this Delphi indicate that ECAS find it important that their surgical training period is longer, to ensure the same operative training.

Introduction: Over the past two decades physicians wellbeing has become a topic of interest. It is currently unclear what the currents needs are of early career academic surgeons (ECAS). Methods: Consensus statements on academic needs were developed during a Delphi process, including all presenters from the previous European Surgical Association (ESA) meetings (2018-2022). The Delphi involved: (1) literature review, (2) Delphi form generation, (3) accelerated Delphi process. Delphi form was generated by a steering group that discussed findings identified within literature. The modified accelerated e-consensus approach included three rounds over a four week period. Consensus was defined as >80% agreement in any round. Results: Forty respondents completed all three rounds of the Delphi. Median age was 37 years (IQR 5), and 53% were female. Majority was consultant/attending (52.5%), followed by PhD (22.5%), fellowship (15%) and residency (10%). ECAS was defined as a surgeon in ‘development’ years of clinical and academic practice relative to their career goals (87.9% agreement). Access to split academic and clinical contracts are desirable (87.5%). Consensus on the factors contributing to ECAS underperformance included: burnout (94.6%), lack of funding (80%), lack of mentorship (80%) and excessive clinical commitments (80%). Desirable factors to support ECAS development included: access to e-learning (90.9%), face to face networking opportunities (95%), support for research team development (100%) and specific formal mentorship (93.9%). Conclusion: The evolving role and responsibilities of ECAS requires increasing strategic support, mentorship and guidance on structures career planning. This will facilitate workforce sustainability in academic surgery for the future.

“…In recent years, studies have shown that residents have concerns regarding a decline in perceived technical skills during this gap in clinical training. 12 In our study, we describe our research environment in which residents are afforded the opportunity to perform translational research utilizing large animals as models for vascular and esophageal disease during a dedicated research year. Residents are uniquely positioned to gain valuable experience in complex anatomic exposures and surgical techniques that are traditionally reserved for senior trainees.…”

Surgical education has evolved over time to incorporate supplemental modalities of training beyond the operating room. Even with the utility of simulation software and didactic education, there is still a need to provide surgical residents with experience in live tissue dissection and tissue handling while maintaining patient safety. In our program, after two clinical years, residents participate in a year of translational research which uses porcine models for complex open abdominal procedures. During the porcine surgeries, our residents are guided by the supervising attending to perform key portions of the procedure typically reserved for those more senior trainees. We found in a survey that research residents after two clinical years found this experience with large animal surgeries helped them better navigate anatomic structures and would recommend this to future trainees. We believe this dual-purpose research-training model provides a valuable resource that can be adapted to other programs.
