Background: This study investigates leadership skills and Canadian Medical Education Directives for Specialists (CanMEDS) competencies acquisition within the General Surgery Residency Training Program (GSRTP). The Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) incorporates the CanMEDS Competency Framework into its curriculum to prepare the resident for healthcare needs. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 117 General Surgery residents (GS) at seven institutes in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Results: The GS residents reported an acceptable self-perceived level of Clinical Leadership Skills (mean ± standard deviation). The most dominant skill was working with others (1.98 ± 1.03), followed by demonstrating personal qualities (2.07 ± 0.88), the ability to manage services (2.21 ± 1.37), improving services (2.22 ± 1.84) and last, setting directions (2.39 ± 0.95). Regarding the CanMEDS competencies, the respondents showed a generally positive perception with an “agree” level (Mean = 1.83). Of the CanMEDS competency roles, Collaborator ranked first followed by Professional and then Communicator. Leader competency ranked fourth followed by Health Advocate, Medical Expert and last, Scholar. Conclusion: The GSRTP residents showed satisfactory self-assessed clinical leadership skills and acquirement of the CanMEDS competencies during their training, which will prepare them to lead in the future.

✓ Walter Edward Dandy (1886–1946) began his surgical training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1910 and joined the faculty in 1918. During the next 28 years at Johns Hopkins, Dandy established a neurosurgery residency training program that was initially part of the revolutionary surgical training system established by William S. Halsted but eventually became a separate entity. Dandy’s residents were part of his “Brain Team,” a highly efficient organization that allowed Dandy to perform over 1000 operations per year, not counting ventriculograms. This team also provided rigorous training in the Halsted mold for the neurosurgical residents. Although exacting and demanding, Dandy was universally admired by his residents and staff. This article describes Dandy’s neurosurgical residency program at Johns Hopkins, and provides personal recollections of training under Walter Dandy.

IntroductionGeneral surgery residency involves performing subspecialty procedures in addition to the core general procedures. However, the proportion of core general surgery versus subspecialty procedures during training is variable and its temporal changes are unknown. The goal of our study was to assess the current trends in core general surgery and subspecialty procedure distributions during general surgery residency training.MethodsData were collected from the ACGME core general surgery national resident available report case logs from 2007 to 2019. Descriptive and time series analyses were used to compare proportions of average procedures performed per resident in the core general surgery category versus the subspecialty category. F-tests were conducted to show whether the slopes of the trend lines were significantly non-zero.ResultsThe mean of total procedures completed for major credit by the average general surgery resident increased from 910.1 (SD=30.31) in 2007 to 1070.5 (SD=37.59) in 2019. Over that same period, the number of general, cardiothoracic, plastic and urology surgery procedures increased by 24.9%, 9.8%, 76.6% and 19.3%, respectively. Conversely, vascular and paediatric surgery procedures decreased by 7.6% and 30.7%, respectively. The neurological surgery procedures remain stable at 1.1 procedures per resident per year. A significant positive correlation in the trend reflecting total (p<0.0001), general (p<0.0001) and plastic (p<0.0016) surgery procedures and the negative correlation in the trend lines for vascular (p<0.0006) and paediatric (p<0.0001) surgery procedures were also noted.ConclusionsTrends in overall surgical case volume performed by general surgery residents over the last 12 years have shown a steady increase in operative training opportunity despite the increasing number of subspecialty training programmes and fellowships. Further research to identify areas for improvement and to study the diversity of operative procedures, and their outcomes is warranted in the years to come.
