4. Changes Negatively Impacting the Apprentice Model2012 Loss of the ward services Faculty priority change from teaching surgery to doing surgery Increase in number of married residents Decrease in amount of time allowed in hospital

5. Problems with Patient Care Model of Surgical Education The apprentice model curriculum depends almost exclusively on what happens to walk through the door for its clinical experience

6. Problems with Patient Care Model of Surgical Education “with good judgment coming from experience and experience, unfortunately, coming from bad judgment” Dr. Scott Hultman University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

7. Problems with Patient Care Model of Surgical Education We violate the basic principle by which people become masters of a skill - DELIBERATE PRACTICE

8. K. Anders Ericsson, PhD

9. Characteristics of Deliberate Practice Focused Carried out over extended periods of time Guided by an experienced coach Identifies errors and concentrates on procedures directed at eliminating those errors Constantly moves out of the trainees comfort zone Has a consistent means of evaluating the level of performance

10. Characteristics of Deliberate Practice Not “play” Not reimbursed May not be fun

11. Problems with Patient Care Model of Surgical Education No ability to actually TRAIN surgeons in how to handle adverse events

17. Deliberate Practice Component Task Training

18. Schema for Simulation Based Training in Cardiac Surgery • Determine the operative procedures to be addressed • Break each down into smaller component tasks • Create a comprehensive syllabus for simulation based training for each of the component tasks for each procedure • Create “component task simulators” to allow for training in the component tasks using deliberate practice • Combine the component tasks mastered into the whole procedure • Use deliberate practice to master the whole procedure • Assess (using OSATS/ 5 point Likert tools) and video record each part of the process
