Study Summary
Despite the importance of preoperative code status and goals of care discussion (CSD/GOCD), a formal curriculum for anesthesiology residents is lacking. Residents are often uncomfortable conducting these conversations and there is a lack of research investigating the effectiveness of formal, evidence-based teaching during anesthesia training. The investigators propose to develop a novel skills training program with the aims to assess its immediate effect on CSD/GOCD skills, long-term internalization of the CSD training, and the authenticity, feasibility and acceptability of the CSD program and observed standardized patient encounter (OSCE) interaction. In this prospective, randomized study, first year anesthesia residents will be assigned to the study or control group. Both groups will undergo pre- and post-intervention OSCEs. The control group will complete the online modules only, while the study group will complete the entire skills training program consisting of online modules, self-assessments, and small group exercises. To measure CSD/GOCD proficiency, all participants will interview trained patient actors in pre-and post intervention OSCE. Investigators will use existing scoring systems and surveys. Standard patient encounters will be video recorded and reviewed by two blinded clinician graders. The pre- and post-participation survey will assess comfort and experience with CSD/GOCD. The follow up surveys will assess long-term retention of training, comfort and interim experiences. Investigators will perform a validation of the existing CSD/GOCD assessment tools for use in the perioperative setting. If there is a clinically significant demonstrable benefit, investigators expect that the results will lead to a formalization of this innovative curriculum on a national scale.
