Night-float rotations require general surgery interns to prioritize multiple competing patients' needs efficiently and accurately. Research is lacking on whether these skills can be taught and to what degree the prioritizations taught match overall attending surgeon expectations. A night-float situation was developed to simulate the experience of surgical interns responding to multiple patients' needs. Participants were instructed to rank order 10 patient paper-case scenarios with a variety of clinical urgencies. After completing their first ranking, the interns participated in a faculty-facilitated peer discussion (intervention) and were then instructed to re-rank their priorities. Their performance was compared pre- and post-intervention, and to the ranking of 16 surgery faculty attendings. Massachusetts General Hospital, Department of Surgery, Boston, MA. Post-graduate year (PGY) 1 surgical residents. Two classes of general surgery interns (n = 25) completed the prioritization training simulation in the middle of their internship year, one class in 2018 and one in 2020. Agreement between interns regarding patient prioritization ranking increased after the facilitated peer discussion (pre-intervention mean standard deviation = 1.8 versus 0.9 post-intervention; p = 0.03). In the post-intervention mean rank, four cases moved by one position (p < 0.05). The facilitated discussion resulted in increased absolute agreement between individual interns and attendings' ranks (mean agreement 38 ± 17% pre-intervention Vesus mean 50 ± 20% post-intervention, p = 0.02). The scenarios with highest agreement between interns and attendings concerned patients with the most urgent conditions. Scenarios with the lowest agreement were those ranked with medium-to-low urgency. A faculty-led facilitated discussion appears to increase clinical prioritization consistency among surgical interns and better align their prioritizations with expectations of local attending surgeons.
