TL;DR

How academic surgeons manage and balance the often competing responsibilities of patient safety and education during the slowing-down moments is explored, using a constructivist approach to grounded theory methodology to explore an emergent theme of control among academic surgeons.

Abstract

Operating from the "other side of the table" sets up a control dynamic that requires manipulation and negotiation on the part of the academic surgeon. Understanding these issues informs surgeons in their supervisory role, offering avenues for optimizing surgical training.
