Complex Experience of Surgeon Stress in the Operating Room: Need for an Individualized Approach

Abstract

CONCLUSIONS: Introduction of the Top Gun competition increased resident attendance at the MC-ACS meetings with positive survey feedback and could be considered as a strategy to increase local chapter involvement. In such competitive settings, there were no differences in performance among residents of different training levels, highlighting a potential role for team training and practice that improves junior performance. Laparoscopic tasks were responsible for differentiating the top teams.
