ABOUT THE ASE

HISTORY

The original motivation for the creation of the Association for Surgical

Education (ASE) was to improve the quality of medical student

education in surgery. The ASE planning group consisted of Drs.

Norman Snow, David Heimbach, Royce Laycock, Anthony Imbembo,

Gordon Schwartz and Bruce Gewertz who founded the organization in

1980. The inaugural meeting took place in Louisville, Kentucky in 1981

and was attended by approximately 30 people. In the early 1990’s, the

ASE embraced educational research as a major part of the

organizational mission and developed a number of programs that

promoted the scholarship of discovery as it related to the entire surgical

education continuum. In more recent years, education has become an

increasingly more common career focus for academic surgeons.

Accordingly, the ASE has adapted its structure and programs to address

the interests and needs of our growing and diverse group of graduate

students, residents, surgeons and educators.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to the Association forSurgical Education. We are a uniquesurgical organization in that we aresolely devoted to the cause of SurgicalEducation. Our core mission is “torecognize and reward excellence,innovation and scholarship in SurgicalEducation”. Our efforts span thecontinuum of Surgical Education, withparticular emphasis in medical studentand resident education, as we providea “home” for surgeons who desire toimprove their teaching skills,educational scholarship and outreach.We help surgeons become bettereducators and leaders, and provideFaculty Development resources to aidin their efforts, including academicpromotion.

This Annual Report of the ASE willallow readers an opportunity to betterknow and understand ourorganization, including the people,committees, research projects andawards that define our organization. Iam honored to serve as the ASEPresident for 2015-16 and grateful forthe leadership support provided byour Executive Committee, with ChrisBrandt (President Elect), AmaliaCochran (Vice President), SueSteinemann (Secretary), Ranjan Sudan(Treasurer) and Susan Kepner(Executive Director) as a true “dreamteam” of leaders and colleagues.

In the past year, ASE has madetremendous progress in several areas.We have furthered a strategic planningprocess, with central themes includingResearch, Curricula, ProfessionalDevelopment, Innovation, andOrganizational Effectiveness. Eachcommittee of the ASE is activelyinvolved in carrying out our strategicplan and we look forward to furtherprogress this year. The plan is

publically available on our websiteunder the “About” tab.

Second, through the strong leadershipof Dr. Nancy Gantt and others on theClerkship Directors Committee, theASE has developed and implementedthe ASE Academy of ClerkshipDirectors, a Certification Program forSurgical Clerkship Directors. This wasdone to enhance career andprofessional development for allsurgical Clerkship Directors andAssistant/Associate Directors, provideresources for management of aclerkship and to help the ASE furtherits mission. Academy certificationrecognizes expertise in, and ongoingcommitment to, medical studentsurgical education. More informationabout the Academy can be found onour website.

Launched two years ago, theCitizenship and Social Responsibilitycommittee has rapidly increased itsmembership and is addressingimportant needs within the surgicaleducation community. A new initiativefor the ASE, we believe thisdemonstrates our forward thinkingand outwardly directed attitude towardsociety and new ways of spreading thevalue of the ASE. In contrast, one ofour more established, “bedrock”programs, the Surgical EducationResearch Fellowship (SERF) Programjust celebrated its 20th year. It hasbeen reinvigorated with newleadership by Dr. Maura Sullivan, whohas big shoes to fill in following Dr.Kim Schenarts as former SERFProgram Director. SERF remainsenormously popular among juniorfaculty and trainees who desire amentored experience in EducationResearch. Lastly, the ASE has made

COMMITTEE REPORTS

COMMITTEE ON CLERkSHIP dIRECTORSNancy L. Gantt, MD, ChairAlan P. Ladd, MD, Vice-Chair

The Committee on Clerkship Directors was formed atthe ASE meeting in Tucson in March 2006 to provide aforum specifically for Clerkship Directors to share ideasand address challenges common to all surgery clerk-ships. Membership is open to all North American surgi-cal clerkship directors and surgical educators. Ongoingareas of discussion include curriculum, evaluation, M4clinical experiences and complying with Liaison Com-mittee on Medical Education (LCME) requirements. Thecommittee has maintained a national database of con-tact information for all North American Clerkship Direc-tors that represents the best available resource forconnecting clerkship directors both within and outsideASE. A priority for the committee is clerkship directorfaculty development. In conjunction with the Commit-tee of Clerkship Coordinators, pre-meeting workshopshave been held for the past five years to cover addi-tional common educational and administrative topicssuch as professionalism, assessment, feedback, remedia-tion, EMR, residents as teachers, the M4 curriculum, en-trustable professional activities and utilization ofsimulation. In addition, a New Clerkship Directors’workshop was held in April 2015. In recognition of theongoing professional development required to be a sur-gical clerkship director, the ASE Academy of ClerkshipDirectors was developed and inaugural Fellow certifica-tion was awarded to six qualified surgical educators inApril 2015. The Clerkship Directors’ Committee willcontinue to support the development of the NationalMedical Student Surgical Clerkship Curriculum, offeringcontent along with other ASE committees. Well at-tended committee meetings are held in the fall in con-junction with the ACS Clinical Congress and during thespring ASE meeting to promote discussion and fostercollaboration for new high-value activities.

COMMITTEE ON COORdINATORS Of SURgICAL EdUCATIONLureye Myers, MS, ChairCate Spencer-Motyko, MEd, Vice Chair

The mission of this committee is to provide a uniqueforum for coordinators of undergraduate surgical edu-cation to address problems common to the administra-tion and delivery of surgery clerkship programs, topromote the development of resources to support andeducate coordinators, and to share best practices withthe goal of maintaining a vibrant surgery clerkship pro-gram that meets both educational and regulatory goals.

The committee highly values the professional develop-ment of coordinators and continues to organize an an-nual professional development workshop immediatelyprior to the Association for Surgical Education (ASE)meeting. In April 2015, the coordinators participated inthe inaugural two-day pre-conference track that in-cluded the “Troubleshooting Your Clerkship – 105” withthe clerkship directors, followed by a professional de-velopment workshop geared specifically for the coordi-nator role. During the professional developmentsessions, we continued our “New Clerkship Coordina-tors” workshop, six members gave best practice presen-tations, five members led round table discussions on“Hot Topics within Surgical Education” and we con-cluded the afternoon with a guest speaker who focusedon communication and relationship building. Coordi-nator attendance and participation during our two -daytrack substantially increased this year and the feedbackwe received from the participants indicated the highvalue of our sessions. Our “New Clerkship Coordina-tors” workshop alone had over 25 participants. Also,the first inaugural ASE Clerkship Coordinator Recogni-tion Award was presented to Amy Leisten from theMedical College of Wisconsin at the ASE Meeting Ban-quet. Two “Recognition of Excellence” coins weregiven to members Sylvie Moore and Lureye Myers fortheir continued commitment and contributions to thecommittee.

Throughout the year, the committee expanded coordi-nator participation with subcommittees working to en-hance: (1) communication, (2) expanding/trackingmembership, (3) social planning, (4) workshop plan-

COMMITTEE ON MULTI-INSTITUTIONALEdUCATION RESEARCHNick Sevdalis PhD, ChairRoy Phitayakorn MD, Vice-chair

The Multi-institutional Educational Research Group(MERG) has the mission to promote and facilitate highquality multi-institutional studies in the field of surgicaleducation. MERG became a formal ASE committee in2013, following strong interest within ASE in this area.

Strategically, MERG aims to promote multi-institutionaleducational and skills research within surgicaleducation. Operationally, MERG aims to createmechanisms to support multi-institutional projectswithin the areas of surgical education and training.MERG takes the view that multi-institutional,collaborative research has the potential to producebetter-powered studies, with more robust findings,which can make a significant impact on the surgicaleducation evidence base.

MERG has been pursuing these goals through anumber of projects and initiatives. In 2014, we carriedout a Delphi consensus-building exercise of the ASEmembership, which identified priority researchquestions to be addressed by multi-institutional studies.

Emerging areas included studies on performancecriteria, milestones and benchmarks for residents,assessment methods and tools to evaluate residents’performance and competencies, and methods todevelop skills of surgical educators among others. Thisaward-winning project was subsequently published inthe American Journal of Surgery.

In 2015, we carried out a workshop during the SurgicalEducation Week, which aimed to identify barriers tomulti-institutional studies within surgical education andpropose relevant and implementable solutions. Anumber of barriers were identified – includingorganisational, cultural and practical barriers. Theproposed solutions to these included recommendationson how to achieve more effective planning; how toimprove recruitment of institutions; how to improvecollaboration between investigators; how to bettermarket multi-institutional studies; how to improvecommunication between investigators/study sites; andfinally how to overcome lack of protected time forinvestigators. We are planning a follow-up survey tocorroborate and subsequently publicise these initialfindings.

Currently ongoing MERG initiatives and projectsinclude (i) an ongoing systematic review of the of thesurgical education evidence base for multi-institutionalstudies. This project aims to identify the areas in whichsuch studies have been carried out to date, and offer adescription of how institutions have collaborated andshared credit for the studies and resultant publications;and (ii) development of a proposal regarding the set-upand operationalisation of an advisory service offered byMERG to faculty interested in setting up multi-institutional studies, which would provide assistancewith issues like IRB approval, study documentation andgovernance

COMMITTEE ON PROgRAMDaniel Scott, MD, ChairDimitrios Stefanidis, MD, PhD, Vice Chair

The Program Committee is responsible for orchestratingthe ASE annual meeting. Membership on the Committeeis by appointment and the membership was expandedthis year to help our organization better address the in-creasing amount of activity associated with hosting ourmeeting. The annual meeting is held in collaborationwith the Association of Program Directors in Surgeryand the Association of Residency Coordinators in Sur-gery as part of "Surgical Education Week" (SEW). SEW isthe preeminent meeting of surgical educators and itshowcases original research presentations by ASE mem-bers from around the world. A number of these researchprojects are made possible by support from philan-thropy and research grants. In addition to original re-search, the ASE meeting features notable experts insurgical education as invited lectureships. ASE Commit-tees sponsor practical workshops focused on the needsand tools to optimize our educational programs. The in-variably popular "Thinking Out of the Box Lunch" pro-vides a forum for ASE members to present innovative

strategies in education and professional development.The number of research presentations grows annuallyand research presented at the ASE meeting is publishedin two high-impact journals. This year Dr. Keith Lillemoefrom Massachusetts General Hospital will give the J.Roland Folse Lectureship and Jon Chilingerian, PhD,from Brandeis University, will give the inaugural RoyceLaycock Lectureship. The theme for this year’s meetingwill be leadership in surgical education. In addition toour traditional papers, concurrent orals, and poster pre-sentations, we will have a new Plenary paper session tohighlight our top six meeting papers and will have in-vited discussants for these papers. The meeting is opento members and non-members and non-surgeon educa-tors, residents and students are particularly encouragedto attend.

COMMITTEE ON SIMULATIONJohn Paige, MD, ChairShawn Tsuda, MD, Vice-Chair

The mission of the Committee on Simulation is topromote the design, development, implementation, andevaluation of simulation-based training and assessmentfor surgeons and related healthcare professionals.

AdAPTIVE VERSUS VOLUME-bASEdTRAININg IN SIMULATION: A RAN-dOMIzEd CONTROLLEd TRIAL Yinin Hu, MD, Kendall D. Brooks, Helen Kim,Adela Mahmutovic, Joanna Choi, Ivy A. Le, SaraK.Rasmussen, MD, PhD, University of VirginiaSchool of Medicine, Charlottesville, Virginia

Objectives: Current operative training isprimarily based on length of experience ornumbers of cases performed. This paradigm failsto account for learning rate variability.Cumulative sum (Cusum) is a quality-control toolthat tracks proficiency in real-time and is suitedfor adaptive, individualized curricula. Thepurpose of this study is to determine whetherCusum can streamline procedural trainingcompared to a traditional, volume-basedparadigm.

Methods: First- and second-year medicalstudents were randomly assigned to Cusum orControl arms. Participants repeatedly executedthree simulated, invasive techniques with one-on-one instruction: suturing, intubation, and centralvenous catheterization (CVC). Feedback usingweighted checklists was provided after everypractice attempt for both groups. Controlparticipants were each required to practice 8-9hours. Cusum participants practiced untilproficiency—dictated by Cusum—was attained inall tasks. An experienced surgeon blinded tostudy arm assignment conducted post-testevaluations. Evaluations included a compositeoverall score and task-specific sub-scores. Thestudy size was designed to detect a 15% practicetime difference with 80% power. Groupcomparisons were performed using Wilcoxonrank-sum.

Results: Forty-eight participants completed thestudy (24 per group). Average post-test overallscore was 93.1% for Cusum and 92.1% forControl (p = 0.710). Cusum group practiced20.9% fewer hours on average than Controlgroup (6.83 vs 8.63 hours, p < 0.001). Cusumparticipants required between 4.5 to 9.3 hours(SD 1.36) to attain proficiency in all tasks,indicating substantial learning rate variability.Task-specific sub-scores demonstrated non-significant trends favoring Cusum.

Conclusions: This is the first randomized,controlled trial to compare Cusum-guided andvolume-based practice. Traditional protocolsbased on volume or time do not account forvariations in learning rate. By implementing anadaptive paradigm to account for this variability,Cusum promoted more efficient time utilizationwhile maintaining excellent results.

THE IMPACT Of gOAL SETTINg ANdgOAL ORIENTATION ON PERfORM-ANCE dURINg A CLERkSHIP SURgI-CAL SkILLS TRAININg PROgRAMAimee K. Gardner, PhD, Diana Diesen, MD,Deborah Hogg, BS, Sergio Huerta, MD, UTSouthwestern Medical Center, Dallas TX

Introduction: Acquiring basic surgical skillsbefore beginning a surgical clerkship rotationensures that medical students can participate inimportant patient care activities and feel like avalued member of the surgical team. The purposeof this study was to integrate relevant goalsetting theory and to identify if trainees’ goalorientations have an impact on the assignedgoalsperformance relationship.

Methods: Third-year medical students (MS3s)participated in surgical skills training prior tobeginning their clerkship rotation. All MS3sunderwent baseline knot tying (KT) and cameranavigation (CN) skill assessment and completed ademographics/goal orientation questionnaire.MS3s then participated in one of three one-hourtraining programs according to their rotationschedule. All began with the same video tutorial,but were provided with no specific goals andtold to “do your best” and to make the most ofthe training time (DYB group); provided withperformance goals regarding time to completionand metrics to achieve (performance group); orprovided with learning goals in which they wereencouraged to develop personal goals formastering the processes required to perform well(mastery). Skills tests were again completed aftertraining. Pre/post tests were video-recorded andde-identified for evaluation by a single blindedinstructor under an IRB-approved protocol.

Results: 127 MS3s (Age: 25 ±2.6; 54% women)participated in the training program. Pre- to post-training performance changes were significant forall groups on both tasks (p<.01), but the increasewas significantly greater (p<.01) for the Masterygroup (DYB KTΔ=2.14, CNΔ=1.69; PerformanceKTΔ=2.49, CNΔ=2.24; Mastery KTΔ=3.04CNΔ=2.76, on a 1-5 Likert scale). Hierarchicalregression analyses were used to examine theinteraction of goal orientation and goalcondition. Results indicate that individualsendorsing a learning goal orientation performsignificantly better in the mastery goal condition(p<.01), worse in the performance condition(p<.05), and exhibited no significant difference inthe DYB condition. Performance-orientedindividuals performed worse in the DYBcondition (p<.05), but exhibited no significantdifference in the performance or masteryconditions.

Conclusions: These data indicate that ampleconsideration of goal type and trainee goalorientation must be considered duringcurriculum development in order to maximizeeducational value.

dEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION,ANd OUTCOMES Of AN EVIdENCE-bASEd SURgERY CLERkSHIP CLINI-CAL SkILLS ExAMJesse Moore, MD, University of VT College ofMedicine; Cate Nicholas, MS PA EdD, Universityof VT College of Medicine, Burlington, VT

Background: End of clerkship multiple-choiceexams and oral exams allow assessment of astudent's cognitive knowledge and clinicalreasoning. Simulation provides a uniqueopportunity to assess the clinical skills acquiredduring a surgery clerkship. We developed anevidence based clinical skills exam (CSE) for theend of the surgery clerkship using standardizedpatients.

Methods: A literature search identified clinicalskills and content that surgeons and primary carephysicians felt should be learned by the end of asurgery clerkship. Five content areas showedsignificant overlap: breast mass, acute abdomen,GI bleeding, shock, and bowel obstruction. Fiveskills overlapped: abdominal exam, resuscitation,breast exam, writing progress notes, and writingadmission orders. Existing CSEs or OSCEsavailable from the ACS Division of Education,MedEd Portal, and internal oral exams weremodified to create 5 standardized patient (SP)encounters. One patient encounter includes afaculty administered oral exam. SPs completedchecklists for the history taking, physical exam,professionalism, and communication skillsdomains. Faculty provide feedback onpresentation skills, oral exam, written notes, andorders.

Results: Sixty two students have completed theCSE. Scores in each domain were calculatedacross cases. Mean scores were 98% forprofessionalism, 97% for communication, 87% forphysical exam, and 81% for history taking. 6% (n= 4) of students failed to meet the passingstandard in history taking (n=3) or physical exam(n=1) and remediated. 51-72% of students missedelements of the social history. Heart and lungexams were not satisfactorily performed in 55-83% of cases.

Conclusions: An evidence based CSE utilizingSPs can be developed for a surgical clerkship.The high pass rate indicates students are learningthe necessary skills and content. Most examfailures are related to history taking; withelements of the social history being the mostfrequently neglected.

Congratulations to Drs. Hu, Gardner, Moore andtheir collaborators!

COURSES AND PROGRAM OFFERINGS

COURSE fOR CLERkSHIP dIRECTORS ANdCOORdINATORS – TROUbLESHOOTINgYOUR CLERkSHIP 105

Continuing to build on a very successful course forclerkship directors and coordinators in 2012, 2013 and2014, this year "Trouble Shooting Your Clerkship 105"was offered as a day long course of integrated sessionsfor both clerkship directors and coordinators. The fullday session covered topics including: student orienta-tion, challenges in assessment, academicdishonesty/cheating, LCME updates, EPAs, mentoring offaculty and students and the simulation-based skills cur-riculum.

fUNdAMENTALS Of AN ACAdEMIC CAREER IN SURgERY EdUCATION

Members of the ASE Faculty Development Committeepresented a workshop for those who are involved insurgical education. This course was designed to giveparticipants the fundamentals to get started and guid-ance to advance in their role as an effective Surgery Ed-ucator. The course focused on the basics: What is aSurgery Educator? Obtaining the Skills, OvercomingChallenges, Charting Your Course, and Academic Pro-ductivity.

UNdERgRAdUATE SURgICAL EdUCATIONCOORdINATOR PROgRAM

The Coordinator Program was designed to meet the de-velopment needs of undergraduate surgical educationcoordinators/administrators. This two-day track pro-vided invaluable opportunities for coordinators to en-hance their development, network, and share ideaswith colleagues. The program had Coordinators attend-ing the ASE Troubleshooting Your Clerkship Course –105 on day one and attending coordinator specific ses-sions, including best practice presentations, round tablediscussions, and professional development, on day two.

wEb INITIATIVE fOR SURgICALEdUCATION Of MEdICAL dOCTORS

The Web Initiative for Surgical Education of MedicalDoctors (WISE-MD) project provides a standardized,peer-reviewed, web-based educational experience formedical students. The goal of WISE-MD is to design,construct and implement a cutting-edge program onthe diagnosis and treatment of common surgically re-lated diseases. It utilizes sound educational theory andthe latest instructional technologies to produce a newstandard in clinical medical education. Leaders from theNew York University School of Medicine, the AmericanCollege of Surgeons and the Association for Surgical Ed-ucation are collaborating to develop 36 web-basedmodules for integration into surgical clerkship curriculathroughout North America and overseas.

The modules provide expert coaching regarding theprocess of clinical reasoning, and then offer increasinglyindependent opportunities to transfer this knowledgeto new clinical cases. This model strengthens what isundeniably essential in clinical education – learning bydoing – by providing the framework to ensure that allstudents are prepared to most effectively learn from fac-ulty while on the patient floors, in the operating room,and in the classroom. Each multimedia module usesextensive instructional videos, eye-catching graphics,and three-dimensional animations, with experiencedphysicians on-camera guiding the student from the firstpatient interview through to the physical examination,laboratory and imaging studies, decision-making discus-sion between the physician and patient, surgery, pathol-ogy, and post-operative visit. Core information ispresented in engaging and user-driven technologies.Additional information is easily accessible for learnerswho want to explore topics in more depth.

COURSES AND PROGRAM OFFERINGS

Self-assessment questions are now available for 14 ofthe modules. These are a series of multiple choice,matching, category, and rank questions that appear atthe end of each section of the module. A group of“question writers” has been established to create self-as-sessment questions for the other modules and editquestions before they are published for use.

Reports are available for clerkship directors and coordi-nators to track both module usage for their students, aswell as performance on self-assessment questions. Stu-dents are also able to keep track of their own progres-sion through the modules with individual reports.

PRODUCTION AND USAGE

• Thirty-six modules are available online: AbdominalAortic Aneurysms, Adrenal Adenoma, Anorectal Dis-ease, Appendicitis, Bariatric Surgery, Bowel Obstruc-tion, Breast Cancer, Burn Management, CarotidStenosis, Cholecystitis, Colon Cancer, Diverticulitis,Hernia, Hypercalcemia, Lung Cancer, Pancreatitis, Pediatric Hernia & Hydrocele, Pediatric Pyloric Stenosis, Skin Cancer, Thyroid Nodule and TraumaResuscitation

FOUNDATION GRANTS & FELLOWSHIPS

Center for Excellence in Surgical Education, Researchand Training GrantsThe Center for Excellence in Surgical Education, Research and

Training (CESERT) Grants Program was established in 1999. It

is competitive, peer-reviewed, and targets innovation intended

to enhance the effectiveness of surgical education and training.

The Grants Review Committee consists of ASE and ASE

Foundation members, outside experts and the Chair of the ASE

Educational Research Committee. Applicants must be members

of the ASE, or if members of another national surgical

organization, they must be mentored or endorsed by ASE

members. All grant dollars directly support educational

research, and the ASE and the ASE Foundation absorb all

administrative overhead costs associated with the program.

The impact of this program has been substantial resulting in

over 50 national and international presentations and 35 peer-

reviewed publications.

“This grant allowed us to develop a system for video capture in the operatingroom using wearable technology. This information was used to provide acomprehensive assessment of performance on an individual and team leveland develop effective educational interventions. The initiative has made atremendous impact on the way we assess surgeons and without doubt en-hanced the quality of training and patient safety.”

FROM THE PRESIDENT

fROM THE PRESIdENTContinued from page 5

a concerted effort to establish a greater socialmedia presence on Twitter and Facebook and hasinvested in a new website to allow us to reachmore members in more meaningful ways thanever before.

Our annual meeting in Seattle in April 2015featured “Simulation” as its theme and wasextremely well attended and engaging forparticipants. We enjoyed a day of jointprogramming with the Society for Education inAnesthesia (SEA) and enjoyed shared discussions,as well as a debate featuring an “ether screen”,which quickly came down as we discoveredmore common ground than issues on which wedisagreed. Our meeting for 2016 will be held inBoston (April 12-14, 2016). We are planning anengaging, progressive and relevant program.

We are a unique organization with an opencommittee structure. The majority of ourcommittee members serve at their own will---noinvitation required—and as a result we haveengaged, energetic and productive committeesthat further the work of our organization. I inviteyou to peruse the remainder of this AnnualReport to learn more about our committees andour organization. I invite you to attend ourmeetings and get involved.
