SURGICAL COACHING PROJECT
NPC-QIC Surgical Coaching Project
“No matter how well trained people are, few can sustain their best performance on their own. That’s where coaching comes in.”
-Atul Gawand, MD
Junior to intermediate level congenital heart surgeons remain on a continuum of technical training and evolution. For those not associated with programs with good senior level mentorship, the transition to a fully competent and technically capable congenital cardiac surgeon can be challenging. Our subspecialty is one with much lability in work force. Our formalized travelling surgical coaching project plans to address this gap.
Our project implements a surgical coaching model where visiting surgeons are identified for coaching on the Norwood Procedure. This includes junior surgeons beginning transition and senior surgeons interested in unique techniques.
