ACS Surgery Resident OSCE DVD |
ACS Surgery Resident Objective Structured Clinical Examination
DVD
The ACS Surgery Resident Objective
Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) was developed as a tool for assessing the entry-level knowledge and skills of PGY-1 surgery residents in delivering safe care to
surgery patients with critical and life-threatening conditions. The OSCE is
intended as a formative evaluation tool for providing residents with
constructive feedback regarding their management of critical situations that
they are likely to encounter, particularly when they are on call. Ten scenarios
have been developed that unfold during a 10-minute clinical encounter and a
5-minute written post-encounter. Cases include the traditional use of
standardized patients (SPs), as well as telephone conversations and encounters
with standardized nurses and medical students. The OSCE is designed for use by
any residency program, regardless of previous experience with OSCEs or
availability of a SP training program or facility. This program includes two
parts: a CD that provides all the written materials and instructions needed
to prepare for and administer the OSCE, and a DVD that provides a gold standard
performance of each clinical scenario being portrayed by a SP and resident. This
project was supported by grant number U18 HS12021 from the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality. Developed by the American College of Surgeons
Division of Education. 2008.

Disclosing Surgical Error Vignettes DVD |
Disclosing Surgical Error: Vignettes for Discussion (DVD)
This educational DVD (Windows and Mac platforms) provides teaching tools to
stimulate dialogue regarding strategies for communicating effectively about
surgical errors and adverse outcomes with patients and their families. The
vignettes on the DVD involve a surgeon who encountered major arterial bleeding
after inserting a Veress needle to insufflate the patient’s abdomen during a
routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The scenes depict the surgeon discussing
the error and current status of the patient with the family, and may be used as
the basis of discussion regarding the disclosure of errors and adverse events,
as well as effective and ineffective approaches to disclosure.
The DVD vignettes—the first of which illustrates an interaction in which the disclosure could be improved significantly, while the second vignette demonstrates strategies for breaking bad news more effectively—may be used as freestanding trigger tapes for small group discussions with surgeons, surgical residents, or medical students, or may be incorporated into a comprehensive course.
The content does not
provide legal advice, nor does it establish the standard of care on disclosing
surgical error. This project was supported by the Agency for Health Care
Research and Quality Grant U18 HS12021 and is free of charge. Developed by the
ACS Division of Education. Price: Free
