TL;DR

Qualitative analysis of the open-ended questions yielded themes which resonate with both learners and teachers: communication processes, time pressures, optimization of the work/teaching environment, teacher engagement, patience/tolerance, autonomy, feedback, learner preparedness, and patient advocacy.

Abstract

The perceptions of residents and faculty regarding the frequency of using effective approaches for operative teaching are disparate. While faculty appear to value adult learning principles and perceive that they are employed regularly, residents have a discrepant viewpoint. However, themes that were identified by both residents and faculty through qualitative analysis provide the foundation for educational process improvements.
