A Call for Formalized Training of Surgical Educators

Abstract

Current training curricula for future surgeons do not prioritize teaching residents how to teach. With increased expectations but decreased opportunities to operate, developing efficient and effective educators is a pressing necessity. In this article, we discuss the need to formalize the role of the surgical educator, and future directions to implement better training paradigms for surgical educators.

Keywords: clinical educator; resident curriculum; surgical education.
