Read More Introduction: We have observed inconsistencies in residents’experiences regarding important procedures and tasks necessary for patient care. We aimed to improve individual motivation tolearn and become facile with specific practices earlier in the timeline of the internship years.Methods: Intern Bingo was implemented in a single general surgery residency. Two sites, both tertiary care centers with institutional practices, were utilized. Twenty-four procedures/tasks important to clinical practice were identified, including but not limited to Nasogastric Tube placement, IV insertion, incision and drainage, laceration repair, vascular doppler exam, andclinical documentation. Bingo cards were randomly generated. To assess comprehension, interns taught back necessary components to a senior resident or attending to complete each bingo square; including indications, supplies, steps, troubleshooting techniques, and complications. First, the residents were awarded prizes to complete a row and a full card (a cloth scrub cap and portable pulse-oximeter, respectively). A Likert-scale survey assessing satisfaction was administered following the completion of the internship period.Results: The first row was completed in two weeks and the first full card at four weeks. All participants finished the cards within 8 weeks. 54% of the participants returned the survey and100% reported positive experiences. 50% felt that bingo created a healthy learning environment with improved teaching, and the remaining 50% were neutral. 75% reported that Bingo positivelyinfluenced decisions to seek out opportunities. 100% conveyed a desire to repeat Bingo as mentors. Feedback from the attendings was gathered, with positive assessments of the interns’ skills and confidence.Conclusion: Bingo is a simple and easily implemented educational tool that works to alleviate variations in experience early in the internship period. It represents a novel and effective way tomotivate the interns to learn important procedures and tasks within the first two months of residency. Cards may be effortlessly tailored to a variety of residency programs and rotations.

Read More Introduction: Numerous factors and elements are effective in the professional development of any field of study, including the educational structure, the individual characteristics of learners, and the educational atmosphere prevalent in the educational environment. Understanding each of these factors and elements and the relationships among them can guide educational system administrators in the direction of professional development. Surgical residents’ professional development is no exception to this rule. As a consequence, the present research sought to explain and suggest a model for surgical assistant professional growth in Iranian operating rooms.Methods: The present research was a grounded theory study based on a post-positivist approach, in which data analysis was performed using Clark’s situational analysis methodology by drawing three maps, situational map, social worlds/arenas map, and positional map.Results: In the presence of human and non-human factors, cultural, political, historical, and social components, the ordered situational map demonstrated the complexity of the operating room learning environment. The social worlds/arenas map confirmed the existence of several communities of practice wherein surgical residents were present with different power roles, and the positional map showed role of the educational level in the acquisition of thecompetence in the professional development pathway. Finally, the Triple Helix model of professional development was extracted, which has three components: psychological identity, social identity, and surgical competency.Conclusion: The surgical residents’ professional development in operating rooms occurs due to the acquisition of surgicalcompetency along with the growth of individuals and socialization. As a result, all factors and components impacting the residents’ competence development process in this learning environment must be identified and their linkages clarified.
