A pilot training program in surgical communication, leadership and teamwork.

摘要

The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) has defined nine competency domains regarded as integral to being a surgeon.1 Competencies such as technical expertise and clinical decision-making can be acquired by established educational and training methods, usually in the workplace. Other competencies relating to professionalism, communication, collaboration, management and leadership largely rely on the ability of a trainee to recognize good role modelling of relevant skills. Furthermore, trainees must then have the willingness to integrate appropriate behaviours into clinical practice and the ability to improve performance with or without feedback.
