Description
In this informative discussion led by Kash Akhtar, multiple speakers, including trainers and experts in the field, address the imminent challenges and necessary adjustments associated with implementing a new curriculum for surgical training. Lisa Hadfield Law highlights the critical issue of time constraints faced by trainers as they adapt to the curriculum amidst a surge in surgical cases. Mark Bowditch reassures that essential work-based assessments will continue to be prioritized despite concerns of reverting to subjective evaluations that may introduce bias. The discussion continues with Rob Gregory, who estimates that around 30% of surgical trainees may require extended training periods due to pandemic-related disruptions, indicating that this challenge may prevail for another two to three years. The session concludes with Kash expressing gratitude for the valuable insights that provide practical guidance for knee trainers navigating the new educational landscape.
