GroupInterventionDescription
standardized step-wise operative curriculumbriefing objectives, intraoperative teaching, and debriefing feedbackGeneral surgery residents at Mayo Clinic will complete surveys measuring resident autonomy, performance, confidence and case complexity at baseline and postoperatively following laparoscopic cholecystectomy to serve as a pre-intervention baseline. A standardized step-wise operative curriculum will then be implemented Residents will follow and graduate through this curriculum by initiating a perioperative model of briefing objectives, intraoperative teaching, and debriefing feedback (BID). The effectiveness of the intervention will then be measured by comparing survey results pre and post intervention.
