Abstract

Purpose of review: Supporting struggling urology residents is an important yet challenging task. We describe strategies to assess resident performance, challenges in the clinical learning environment that contribute to resident remediation, and support mechanisms. This review highlights existing resources for positive outcomes in remediation and promotes exploration of innovative strategies to support future urology residents.

Recent findings: Burnout is associated with poor resident performance. Factors that promote burnout include unsatisfactory work-life balance, education or financial debt, access to mental health care, and identifying as a member of an underrepresented group. Competency-based assessment and tailored educational interventions can effectively address the needs of a struggling learner. Efforts to create standardized language, specialty-specific remediation programs, and robust mentorship infrastructure have been successful in other specialties. Study of interventions and outcomes for struggling urology residents is somewhat limited; deeper understanding of prevailing remediations practices and individual needs of struggling residents will be critical to develop more robust support for trainees.

对泌尿学学习者的支持。

综述目的：支持困难的泌尿外科住院医师是一项重要但具有挑战性的任务。我们描述了评估住院医生表现的策略，有助于住院医生补救的临床学习环境中的挑战，以及支持机制。这篇综述强调了在修复中取得积极成果的现有资源，并促进了创新策略的探索，以支持未来的泌尿外科住院医生。最近的研究发现：倦怠与住院医生表现不佳有关。导致职业倦怠的因素包括工作与生活的平衡不理想、教育或财务债务、获得精神卫生保健的机会，以及被认为是一个代表性不足的群体的成员。基于能力的评估和量身定制的教育干预可以有效地解决困难学习者的需求。在其他专业中，创建标准化语言、特定专业的补救计划和健全的指导基础设施的努力已经取得了成功。对泌尿外科住院患者的干预措施和结果的研究是有限的；更深入地了解普遍的补救做法和苦苦挣扎的居民的个人需求，对于为受训人员提供更有力的支持至关重要。

期刊介绍： This journal intends to review the most important, recently published findings in the field of urology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal elucidates current and emerging approaches to the care and prevention of urologic diseases and conditions. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, female urology, and kidney disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
