It has been shown to improve overall quality of care, minimize adverse occurrences and preventable fatalities, and provide chances for educational learning. However, medical trainees have different perceptions of M&M conferences which may affect its effectiveness in improving patient outcomes. The aim of this study is to determine the perception of surgical trainees towards M&M conferences.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study is a questionnaire-based survey among surgical trainees of the Department of Surgery, Philippine General Hospital (PGH), for the training year of 2023. The survey consisted of 24 questions on their perception regarding the conduct of M&M. A Likert scale was used by the respondents to rate their perceptions (1 - negative, 10 - positive). Descriptive analysis and ANOVA were used to summarize the responses to the survey.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 64 surgical trainees from the Department of Surgery responded to the survey (response rate = 71.9%). Most respondents (68.8%) reported that the ideal frequency of M&M conferences is once a month. 78.1% were not aware of the inclusion criteria of the cases discussed in the departmental M&M conferences. Most reported (64.1%) that M&M conferences did not regularly include data on outpatient events. A mean rating of 5.2 was observed among surgical trainees on how judgmental they feel about the environment of M&M conferences. Surgical trainees were willing to talk openly about their complications (mean rating 7.1). They were fearful of criticism (mean rating 4.4) and the negative repercussions of their presentations (mean rating 4.1) during M&M conferences. The respondents perceive M&M conferences to be conducive for learning and service improvement with both having a mean rating of 7.8. Most felt that M&M conferences focused on the individual performance (mean rating 7.3) while participants were divided regarding the focus on systems and processes (mean rating of 5.6). In terms of dissemination, about half (45.3%) mentioned that they did not know how the discussions/outcomes were disseminated following an M&M conference. The mean rating of willingness to talk openly of complications were significantly higher among senior residents (7.7) compared to junior residents (6.3) (p=0.008).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study observed variability in the perceptions of surgical trainees on M&M conferences.

Thiel-embalmed cadavers, which offer a lifelike experience with less irritation than formalin-preserved cadavers, have been increasingly used as early as 1st year medical school to teach such procedures because of their feel-like and look-like real patients. There are no studies on the use of Thiel-cadavers for simulated thoracentesis among medical students in the Philippines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To evaluate the attitudes and perceptions of medical students on the use of Thiel-soft embalmed cadavers for simulated thoracentesis as to the understanding of thoracic anatomy, overall learning experience, and confidence in performing the procedure in the cadaver and possibly in the clinical setting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This is a descriptive cross-sectional study among Learning Unit III medical students in the University of the Philippines conducted from June 13 to 17, 2022. In the final station of the Organ System Course 205 of the Department of Anatomy's LEAP II program, a simulated thoracentesis procedure was set up using a Thiel-preserved cadaver with artificially created pleural effusion. After watching and studying thoracic anatomy, watching a video on how thoracentesis was performed by a general surgeon, students performed the procedure, and were asked to answer a 6-question Likert-scale survey to assess their perceptions and attitudes of the simulation procedure. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Most of the students strongly agreed that practicing thoracentesis on the soft cadaver has improved their understanding of the anatomical basis of doing thoracentesis (97%) and of the steps of the procedure (94.9%). Similarly, when asked about how they felt doing the simulated thoracentesis, almost all (98%) strongly agreed that it was an enjoyable and stimulating learning experience. Majority strongly agreed (68%) that they felt capable doing the procedure on a soft cadaver against less than half (38.4%) feeling capable of doing it in the clinical setting. Almost all (97%) strongly agreed that simulated thoracentesis on a soft-embalmed cadaver should be part of the learning competencies of medical students because of the skills they learn by doing the procedure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Integrating a simulated thoracentesis using a Thiel-preserved cadaver early in the course of a student's medical education, provided students with a better understanding of the anatomy of the thoracic wall and the anatomical basis of doing this simulation procedure. Though confidence in performing the procedure in a soft cadaver is ","PeriodicalId":6994,"journal":{"name":"Acta Medica Philippina","volume":"59 6","pages":"33-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12174643/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144332295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
