Abstract
Objective
Growth mindset has recently been gaining attention among surgical educators, but there are limited data on mindset interventions in medical education. This paper describes the design and implementation of a growth mindset workshop for surgical interns.
Design
We followed a systematic approach to curriculum development. The workshop content was based on adult learning theory and experimental research on other mindset interventions.
Setting
2 large academic general surgery residency programs.
Participants
70 incoming surgical interns.
Results
The 90-minute workshop includes videos, reflection exercises, role plays, and group discussions. All instructional materials are publicly available or provided as part of this manuscript.
Conclusion
This guide can help surgical educators implement the workshop at their own institutions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Surgical Education (JSE) is dedicated to advancing the field of surgical education through original research. The journal publishes research articles in all surgical disciplines on topics relative to the education of surgical students, residents, and fellows, as well as practicing surgeons. Our readers look to JSE for timely, innovative research findings from the international surgical education community. As the official journal of the Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS), JSE publishes the proceedings of the annual APDS meeting held during Surgery Education Week.
