Introduction and Program Overview Welcome to the University of Hawaii Surgical Residency Program! Whether with us for one, two, or five years, this Curriculum Guide should answer many questions Residents may have about Program expectations and opportunities. The Program operates in an integrated and affiliated community hospital system in which patients are admitted and treated by University Faculty and University-affiliated, Private Surgical Attending Physicians with Clinical Faculty appointments. The Program Director is responsible for overall Program management, and delegates educational and administrative responsibilities to the Director of Surgical Education (DSE) at each participating hospital. The training of all Surgical Residents takes place primarily in five Honolulu community hospitals: Kaiser Permanente - Moanalua, Kapi olani Medical Center for Women and Children, Kuakini Medical Center, The Queen s Medical Center, Straub Clinic & Hospital. Residents will also rotate through The Endoscopy Institute of Hawaii, The Queen s Medical Center West Oahu, and at North Hawaii Community Hospital on the Hawaii Island. The Surgical Residency Program seeks to prepare Residents to become surgeons of the highest caliber by providing a rich educational experience in a variety of clinical settings. The three main program components: educational curriculum, research, and patient care are structured to offer the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and clinical judgment required for the independent practice of general surgery. The Surgical Residency Program is dedicated to the fulfillment of the six Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) competencies in the following domains: Patient Care that is compassionate, appropriate, and effective for the treatment of health problems and the promotion of health. Medical Knowledge about established and evolving biomedical, clinical, and cognate (e.g. epidemiological and social-behavioral) sciences and the application of this knowledge to patient care. Practice-based Learning and Improvement that involves investigation and evaluation of their own patient care, appraisal and assimilation of scientific evidence, and improvements in patient care. Interpersonal and Communication Skills that result in effective information exchange and teaming with patients, their families and other health professionals. Professionalism as manifested through a commitment to carrying out professional responsibilities, adherence to ethical principles, and sensitivity to a diverse patient population. Systems-based Practice as manifested by actions that demonstrate an awareness of and responsiveness to the larger context and system of healthcare and the ability to effectively call on system resources to provide care that is of optimal value. The educational tenets of the Program are also based on guidelines set forth by The American Board of Surgery, which state: Hawaii Surgical Residency Program Curriculum Guide Part 1 of 2 1 P age

The purpose of graduate education in surgery is to provide the opportunity to acquire a broad understanding of human biology as it relates to disorders of a surgical nature and the technical knowledge and skills appropriate to be applied by a specialist in surgery. The development of this Program s curricula was also shaped, in large part, by the Board s definition of general surgery, which is as follows: The Board interprets the term general surgery in a comprehensive, but specific manner, as a discipline having a central core of knowledge embracing anatomy, physiology, metabolism, immunology, nutrition, pathology, wound healing, shock and resuscitation, intensive care and neoplasia, which are common to all surgical specialties. A general surgeon is one who has acquired specialized knowledge and experience related to the diagnosis, preoperative, operative, and postoperative management, including the management of complications, in ten primary components of Surgery, all of which are essential to the education of a broadly based surgeon: Alimentary Tract Abdomen and its Contents Breast, Skin and Soft Tissue Head and Neck Surgery, including trauma, vascular, endocrine, congenital and oncologic disorders; particularly tumors of the skin, salivary glands, thyroid, parathyroid, and the oral cavity. Vascular Surgery, excluding the intracranial vessels and the heart. Endocrine Surgery, including thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and endocrine pancreas. Pediatric Surgery Surgical Oncology, including coordinated multimodality management of the cancer patient by screening, surveillance, surgical adjunctive therapy, rehabilitation and follow- up. Trauma/Burns, including musculoskeletal, hand and head injuries. The responsibility for all phases of care of the injured patient is an essential component of general surgery. Surgical Critical Care, of patients with underlying surgical conditions in the Emergency Room, Intensive Care Unit, and Trauma/Burn Units. Additionally, the general surgeon is expected to have significant preoperative, operative, and postoperative experience in pediatric, plastic (including familiarity with the role of breast reconstruction after mastectomy), cardiothoracic, minimally invasive procedures (including basic and advanced laparoscopic procedures), and transplant surgery. Also, the surgeon must have an understanding of the management of the more common urgent and emergent problems in gynecologic, neurologic, orthopaedic, and urologic surgery, and of the administration of anesthetic agents, airway management, and conscious sedation. In addition, the surgeon must be familiar with the unique requirements of bariatric and geriatric surgical patients and must have knowledge and skills in preoperative care, operative care, postoperative care, counseling patients and families, and knowledge of palliative care, Hawaii Surgical Residency Program Curriculum Guide Part 1 of 2 2 P age

and the management of pain, cachexia and weight loss in patients with malignancy and chronic conditions. The general surgeon must be capable of employing endoscopic proctosigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy; operative choledochoscopy; and must have experience in other techniques, particularly, and laparoscopy, and relevant diagnostic and therapeutic techniques; including laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, and fine needle aspiration cytology. The general surgeon should also have experience with sentinel lymph node mapping and biopsy techniques for breast cancer and melanoma, and have the opportunity to become familiar with evolving diagnostic and therapeutic methods, including the following: Investigation and manipulation of the distal common bile duct (including sphincterotomy) Stereotactic breast biopsy techniques, including core needle biopsy, and mammotome techniques Physiologic testing and evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract Diagnostic ultrasonography of the following areas: head and neck; breast; abdomen, including intraoperative and laparoscopic ultrasound; and endorectal Noninvasive diagnostic evaluation of the vascular system and invasive vascular interventional techniques Hawaii Surgical Residency Program Curriculum Guide Part 1 of 2 3 P age

General Program Goals, Objectives and Implementation In keeping with The American Board of Surgery s definition of general surgery and the ACGME requirements, at the end of five years (PGY-5) of training in our Program, a resident is expected to achieve the following competencies: 1. Patient Care a. Respect the needs of patients and their families, and provide surgical care in accordance with those needs. Implementation: The multi-cultural, multi-lingual nature of the community that our Program serves requires special attention to this. During the course of residency training varied experiences and education will provide the opportunity to gain competence in this vital component of patient care. A cultural competency initiative is also undergoing development in the Department by a PhD Community Psychologist. b. Teach patients and their families about the patient s health needs. Implementation: Before discharging a patient, remember to discuss not only their surgical problems (the wound, nutrition, thromboembolic prophylaxis), but also comorbidities, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes, for example. Practice in this realm of patient care is essential. c. Develop experience in the outpatient setting and continuity of patient care. Implementation: Ambulatory experiences at participating sites provide for education in this domain. 2. Medical Knowledge a. Manage surgical disorders, based on a thorough knowledge of basic and clinical science. Implementation: This will be achieved through daily interaction with Faculty at each of the participating sites, with specific reference to your assigned patients. Focused reading centering on your patients, or a problem-based learning approach to their surgical disorders is emphasized. Basic Science conferences and all University- wide conferences will be directed toward clinical problems, but cannot replace the role of patientspecific, problem-oriented reading. b. Demonstrate appropriate skill in those surgical techniques required of a qualified surgeon. Implementation: The large number of cases available and the devotion of our teaching Faculty have produced very technically facile residents for many years. Paying close attention to the technical implementation of an operation while you are first- or secondassisting is very helpful. In addition, gleaning technical advice from different Faculty members at different training sites will help you to develop your own style and approach. c. Demonstrate the use of critical thinking when making decisions affecting the life of a patient. Implementation: Thinking out loud in front of your senior resident or attending in the ICU, in the Emergency Room, in the Clinic, Operating Room, or on ward rounds is helpful. Asking questions and keeping the lines of communication open is important in your growth Hawaii Surgical Residency Program Curriculum Guide Part 1 of 2 4 P age

and in our ability to evaluate you, and to assist you in your development as a surgeon, as you transition to the independent practice of the specialty. 3. Practice-based Learning and Improvement a. Make sound ethical and risk averse judgments appropriate for a qualified surgeon. Implementation: Ethical issues are discussed during Journal Clubs, Morbidity & Mortality Conferences, other didactic sessions, and on teaching rounds at each of our participating sites. b. Teach and share knowledge with colleagues, residents, students, and other healthcare providers. Implementation: The roles of teacher and learner are inseparable in medicine in general, and in surgery, specifically. Working together with medical students will help to develop these skills at an early stage of your professional career. Supervising junior residents as you become more senior will solidify this. Emulate the teachers that you admire. c. Demonstrate acceptance of the value of life-long learning as a necessary prerequisite to maintaining surgical knowledge and skill. Implementation: Again, our devotion to problem-based learning will become evident as time goes by. You must read about your patients illnesses and medical conditions. d. Demonstrate a commitment to scholarly pursuits through the conduct and evaluation of research. Implementation: The Program will help you to identify a mentor for clinical (or if desired, basic science) science research. It is expected that every categorical resident will be involved in at least one research project during their training, with the goal being the submission of either an abstract for presentation at a local, regional, or national meeting, or the submission of a manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal. 4. Interpersonal and Communication Skills a. Develop leadership, communication, and administrative skills. Implementation: Being a senior resident at any of the participating hospitals or a chief resident in the Program requires the ability to delegate authority, make call schedules, communicate with administrators, Faculty and individuals in other fields of medicine. 5. Systems-based Practice a. Collaborate effectively with colleagues, nurses and other health professionals. Implementation: It is expected that you will observe the manner in which Faculty attendings interact with their colleagues and play a role in the management of your patients by obtaining appropriate consultation, discussing your patients with respiratory therapists, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, and other health care providers, routinely. b. Provide cost-effective care to surgical patients and families within the community. Implementation: Try to remember that if a test is not going to affect what you do, it may not be worth getting. You will be questioned routinely at Morbidity & Mortality Hawaii Surgical Residency Program Curriculum Guide Part 1 of 2 5 P age

Conferences, on daily ward rounds by your senior residents and on teaching rounds at each of the hospitals about the utility, or lack thereof, for tests, hospitalization or even operations. 6. Professionalism a. Demonstrate a commitment to carrying out professional responsibilities and an adherence to ethical principles. Implementation: Residents are expected to demonstrate compassion, integrity and respect for others and to provide a responsiveness to patient needs that supersedes self- interest. Residents must maintain sensitivity and responsiveness to a diverse patient population, including, but not limited to, diversity in gender, age, culture, race, religion, disabilities, and sexual orientation.
