  1. The Surgical Educational Environment Part 1: Socrates & Halsted Clerkship Directors Workshop April, 2014 Toby C Tally MD GRU/UGA Medical Partnership, Athens, GA

  2. Goals & Objectives • Attempt to define types of mistreatment. • Examine teaching methods traditionally used in surgical training. • Discuss issues at the intersection of teaching methods and mistreatment.

  3. Socialization Tacit SECI model (Nonaka & Takeuchi 1996)

  4. Years 1 & 2: Teaching professionalism • Small Group Learning, 6 hours/week • Explicit expectations • Controlled, safe environment • Faculty role models (many non-MDs) • Formative and summative assessments

  5. The Clinical Years • New environment, new game • Don’t know the rules • Rules keep changing • Told what NOT to do. • Experiences differ from their classmates’ • No longer all about them

  6. AAMC GQ Definition of Mistreatment • Mistreatment, either intentional or unintentional, occurs when behavior shows disrespect for the dignity of others and unreasonably interferes with the learning process. Examples of mistreatment include sexual harassment; discrimination or harassment based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation; humiliation, psychological or physical punishment and the use of grading and other forms of assessment in a punitive manner.

  7. The ‘Never’ Column AAMC GQ • >95% checked NEVER for most – the bad ones. • Handful in range of 85-93% • 76.7% NEVER Publicly humiliated • 52.8% NEVER Publicly embarrassed

  8. The ‘Never’ Column AAMC GQ 2013 Summary • 76.7% NEVER Publicly humiliated • 52.8% NEVER Publicly embarrassed BAD Not so bad

  9. Legitimacy Assessment Model of Rationalization

  10. Socialization. • we teach this way because it works • to train surgeons who can think on their feet, • make critical decisions quickly with incomplete information. • we teach med students this way • to show them what surgery is about and • see if they want to do it, and if they can. • “There is research to suggest that some stress and anxiety can be beneficial in learning. There appears to be a certain level of tension and disequilibrium needed to stretch and challenge students to learn.” [VM]

  11. Pimping is… • A useful training tool? • A formative assessment tool? • An initiation ritual? • Socratic teaching method + peer pressure?

  12. Pimping Benign Pimping Malignant Pimping any question that was “clearly inappropriate for students’ level of training,” that was meant to “trip students up” or “humiliate” them, or that was asked “to make students feel stupid” • Teaches • “Encourages you to become eloquent in being able to verbalize what you have read in a manner you can share with your colleagues” • Identifies gaps in knowledge • Tests how you handle pressure

  13. Military Training • Hazing in basic training was believed to provide • socialization • cohesion-building • weeding out those unfit or unwilling to serve • NO HAZING, but “physical and mental hardships associated with operations or operational training do not constitute hazing” • “Eradications of hazing has not diminished the socialization, camaraderie or commitment of new recruits.”

  14. Raising children • Why do we torture 9-year olds with thousands of multiplication problems? • Why do we let our children beat up on each other? • So they can succeed in the real world

  15. so it is with medical students • This is the real world: • Tell them what to expect • Challenge them • Make them practice • Encourage, don’t coddle Jessica Hagy, thisisindexed.com • And they will learn how to handle themselves with “good” pimping and tough love.
