Serve Coffee, Hold Clamps, Do Not Complain: Student Perceptions and Experiences Regarding Surgery
Objective
To explore medical students’ perceptions and experiences regarding the surgery clerkship and surgeons.
Design
Between November 2021 and February 2022, an anonymous prepost survey study was performed among 2 consecutive cohorts of medical students. The survey was taken 6 weeks prior to the surgery clerkship and repeated shortly after the surgery clerkship.
Setting
Single-center prepost survey study.
Participants
Medical students studying at Erasmus Medical Center entering a 6-week surgery education block directly followed by a ten-week surgery clerkship.
Results
The preclerkship response rate was 100% (n=145). One out of 5 students considered a surgical career (21%). Half of the students expected to be negatively treated (55%), mainly in terms of hierarchy and offensive language. The postclerkship response rate was 70% (n=101). Interest in a surgical career increased significantly from 21% to 50% (p<0.001). Thirteen students (13%) reported being negatively treated during their surgery clerkship, mainly in terms of poor supervision of their learning process and nonconstructive feedback.
Conclusions and Relevance
Stereotypes of surgeons and the surgical clerkship are strongly prevalent among medical students. Half of the students enter the surgery clerkship with negative perceptions. Fortunately, the surgery clerkship debunked prejudices and increased interest in surgery. Poor supervision and feedback during the surgery clerkship were experienced as negative treatment, emphasizing the importance of cultivating a safe learning climate.
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.
