The goal of this study is to implement and evaluate the need, feasibility and effectiveness of a resident-initiated, step-wise, graduated operative curriculum designed to enhance resident autonomy for laparoscopic cholecystectomy for general surgery residents.
The goal of this study is to improve resident autonomy and confidence through detailed and stepwise feedback and to also assess resident and attending perceptions regarding resident skill and autonomy.
