“…A recent review of studies assessing EQ in surgery by McKinley and Phitayakorn 24 concluded that no study found a significant link between surgical resident EQ and clinical performance. Even more recently, Hollis et al 25 were unable to correlate EQ with either ABSITE scores or faculty evaluations of clinical competency. Thus, despite the growing interest in EQ measures in the surgical community, no data currently exist to support their use as a selection tool.…”

This study found little support for the use of EQ assessment and only weak support for some distinct personality factors (ie, agreeableness, extraversion, and independence) in surgery resident selection. Performance on the SJT was associated with overall resident performance more than traditional cognitive measures (ie, USMLE scores). These data support further exploration of these 2 screening assessments on a larger scale across specialties and institutions.

“…31 Although higher emotional intelligence has not necessarily correlated with overall performance metrics, it has been associated with other factors, such as well-being and job satisfaction. 12,13,21,32 Our data demonstrated minimal but statistically significant difference among different groups with regards to emotionality (0.81 between current medical students and faculty and 0.68 between current medical students and current residents or fellows) and no significant difference with other factors. With medical students being found to have the highest levels of emotionality, our data suggest that level of training does not itself imply a certain level of emotional intelligence.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the Feagin Leadership Program (FLP) in teaching leadership domains and emotional intelligence. An anonymous survey of 178 graduates of FLP (2011–2019) including the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) was used to assess emotional intelligence and program views. ANOVA was used to compare the difference in emotional intelligence domains between groups. Respondents reported the FLP most improved skills in communication, emotional intelligence, and team building. Medical students (18, 38.3%) and faculty/staff (5/14, 35.7%) reported the most relevant domain was emotional intelligence; residents/fellows reported the most relevant domain was teamwork (8/37, 21.6%). Respondents in residency/fellowship had the highest score in emotionality (P = .01). These results suggest that a healthcare leadership program tailored to medical trainees was effective in improving their competency in various leadership domains, and that emotional intelligence and teamwork were the most relevant components of the program.

“…Problems between colleagues and co-workers can generate a hostile work environment, negatively interfering with the outcome of the surgery. It is in this field where non-technical skills (communication, teamwork, decisions, conflict management) and emotional intelligence (EI) must be put into play 16 , 10 .…”

Background:The aeronautical industry is one of the disciplines that most use control systems. Its purpose is to avoid accidents and return safer flights. The flight of an airplane, from its takeoff to its landing is a process divided into stages under strict control. A surgical procedure has the same characteristics. We try to identify and develop the stages of the surgical process using the experience of the aviation industry in order to optimize the results and reduce surgical complications. Aim:To identify and develop the stages of the surgical process so that they could be applied to surgery departments. Methods:A search, review and bibliographic analysis of the application of aeronautical control and safety to medical practice in general and to surgery, in particular, were carried out. Results:Surgical process comprises the perioperative period. It is composed of Preoperative Stage (it is divided into 2 “sub-steps”: hospital admission and control of preoperative studies) Operative Stage (it is divided into 3 “sub-steps”: anesthetic induction, surgery, and anesthetic recovery) and Postoperative Stage (it is divided into 2 “sub-steps”: control during hospitalization and ambulatory control). Two checkpoints must be developed. Checkpoint #1 would be located between the preoperative and operative stages, and checkpoint #2 would be located between the operative and postoperative stages. Surgical factors are surgeons, instrumental and technology, anesthesiology and operating room environment. Conclusion:It is possible and necessary to develop a systematic surgical procedure. Its application in the department of surgery could optimize the results and reduce the complications and errors related to daily practice.
