“…Similar results were observed in internal medicine [29], psychiatry [16,30], and surgery residents [4]. For example, 87% of general surgery program directors agreed that residents should receive formal business education, but a majority (70%) acknowledged that their current trainees were insufficiently trained in this subject [31]. Surgery residents were aware of the importance of documentation and coding for professional services, but these trainees also felt inadequately prepared for and demonstrated marginal knowledge of this area of practice [12,32].…”

Facilitating the transition to practice: a weekend retreat curriculum for business-of-medicine education of United States anesthesiology residents

Anesthesiology residents in the United States (US) not only must develop the clinical skills needed to provide independent patient care, but also are required to become familiar with the business aspects of the modern health care system. Unfortunately, practice management education may be inadequate during anesthesiology residency training. The authors describe the design and implementation of a weekend retreat curriculum in business-of-medicine education for anesthesiology residents. Experts were recruited to discuss interviewing skills, contract law and negotiation, billing and reimbursement, insurance, malpractice, and financial planning. A strict lecture didactic format was avoided, and presentations were designed to encourage speaker-audience interaction. The program was relatively simple to design and implement, satisfied several Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education core competencies for US anesthesiology education, may be altered as practice management evolves, and may be adapted to accommodate the needs of programs in other countries.

“…Although didactic lectures (such as the seminar in the study by Hanna et al 2 ) may be the easiest way to implement a program, it may not be the most effective. 4 Numerous studies indicate that didactics needs to be accompanied by action-based learning projects. To ARCH SURG/ VOL 147 (NO.…”

“…3 Despite this, managerial training has traditionally been absent from formal surgical education, largely owing to its nonclinical nature. [4][5][6] With the recent reduction in resident work hours, there is even less time devoted to developing leadership and managerial skills. Program directors in surgery have acknowledged that their residents are not well prepared for future management roles and are in need of a formal business education.…”

To demonstrate that senior surgical residents would benefit from focused training by professionals with management expertise. Although managerial skills are recognized as necessary for the successful establishment of a surgical practice, they are not often emphasized in traditional surgical residency curricula.Design: Senior residents from all surgical subspecialties at McGill University were invited to participate in a 1-day management seminar. Precourse questionnaires aimed at evaluating the residents' perceptions of their own managerial knowledge and preparedness were circulated. The seminar was then given in the form of interactive lectures and case-based discussions. The questionnaires were readministered at the end of the course, along with an evaluation form. Precourse and postcourse data were compared using the Freeman-Halton extension of the Fisher exact test to determine statistical significance (PϽ.05).
