“…Although it is well characterized that providing feedback helps trainees improve their technical skills, [1][2][3][4][5]7 it remains unclear what strategies are the most beneficial to surgical residents. It seems intuitive that more frequent feedback would be helpful.…”

Background Data defining the utility of the system for improving and measuring procedural learning (SIMPL) in surgical education is limited. The aim of this pilot study is to describe the impact of SIMPL on resident and faculty perspectives regarding operative feedback. Methods Residents and faculty were surveyed prior to and 6 months after SIMPL implementation. Associations were analyzed using [Formula: see text] for categorical and Student’s t-test for continuous variables. Statistical significance was defined as P-value < .05. Results The proportion of residents receiving intraoperative feedback at least once/day increased significantly (35% to 73%, P = .025); there was a trend toward increased postoperative feedback (15% to 33%, P = .201). Faculty reported an increase in intraoperative (55% to 91%, P = .041) and postoperative feedback (21% to 64%, P = .020). Satisfaction with intraoperative feedback improved from a score of 3.50 ± 1.05 to 3.93 ± .62, although not statistically significant ( P = .181). Satisfaction with postoperative feedback improved significantly from 2.85 ± .93 to 3.50 ± .65 ( P = .032). The proportion of faculty who felt they were providing effective feedback increased (53% to 91%, P = .032). The proportion of residents who perceived that feedback enhanced their surgical skill increased as well (65% to 93%, P = .048). Discussion Despite a modest increase in frequency of postoperative feedback, perceived quality of feedback improved substantially after implementation of SIMPL. Introduction of SIMPL also increased the amount of feedback provided by faculty intraoperatively. SIMPL, via direct and indirect effects, has a positive impact on the resident operative learning environment. Further work is necessary to examine the influence this may have on resident operative skill and patient outcomes.

“…Operative feedback is essential to the growth of the surgical learner, and performance has been shown to improve with feedback. [1][2][3][4][5] Feedback quality, however, has historically been inconsistent. 6 The most common modality of operative feedback has been end of rotation evaluations, which are typically completed every 4-8 weeks.…”
