Summary: The prevalence of formal robotic surgery curricula in general surgery residency programs in the United States is over 70%, with most programs starting the curriculum in PGY1 or PGY2 and allowing residents to participate in bedside assisting and robotic console operation in the first 3 years of residency. The importance of robotic surgery training in general surgery is emphasized by programs offering formal curricula compared to those that do not.

Summary: This study evaluates whether graduates of integrated vascular surgery residency (IVSR) programs achieve similar surgical outcomes in clinical practice as compared to graduates of vascular surgery fellowships (VSF). The findings suggest that despite fewer total years of training, graduates of IVSR programs achieve equivalent surgical outcomes as fellowship-trained vascular surgeons once in practice.

Summary: Psychological safety refers to the comfort an individual feels in asking questions, expressing ideas or concerns, and taking risks without fear of criticism. In healthcare, it is associated with improved patient safety outcomes, increased clinician engagement, and greater creativity. Creating a culture of psychological safety is crucial for physician well-being, satisfaction, and effective care delivery. This primer explores the barriers and facilitators to psychological safety in healthcare, outlines principles for creating a psychologically safe environment, and presents strategies for managing conflict, microaggressions, and unprofessional behavior. It emphasizes the shared responsibility of individuals and organizations in promoting psychological safety through proactive policies and interventions.

Summary: Cataract surgery is common in France, but complications can occur due to lack of experience and sleep deprivation. The use of the EyeSi surgical simulator for training has shown potential, but there is no consensus on the necessary training for first-time surgeons. This multi-center cohort study aims to establish a validated training protocol using the EyeSi and evaluate the impact of sleep deprivation on surgical performance.

Summary: This article presents a framework for integrated QIPS training in the University of Washington Internal Medicine Residency Program, including the establishment of dedicated positions, development of a formal curriculum, and integration with medical center QIPS efforts. Evaluation of the program showed improvements in attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors among trainees, along with significant contributions to medical center QIPS work. The specialty-agnostic framework allows for program and medical center integration, as well as horizontal integration across GME specialties.
