Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery: Not only for senior residents
Journal of Surgical Education
We evaluated single-institution data on pass rates for FLS by post-graduate year. We found that taking FLS earlier did not negatively impact pass rates.

Perceived value of a program to promote surgical resident well-being
Journal of Surgical Education
Several years after we founded a resident well-being program at Stanford Health Care, we performed a survey of the surgical residents to assess their view on various aspects of the program. Residents most valued a refrigerator stocked with healthy food, meetings with a psychologist, and social events.

Physician wellness in surgical residency
Current Surgery Reports
We wrote a broad overview of data related to surgical resident well-being.
-
Social belonging as a predictor of well-being and surgical resident attrition
Journal of Surgical Education
(in press) We found that social belonging was positively associated with positive well-being outcomes and was inversely associated with risk of attrition as measured by self-report items.
-
Stereotype threat and working memory among surgical residents
American Journal of Surgery
(in press). We performed a laboratory experiment with surgical residents. We randomized residents to a stereotype-threat or no-threat condition. We then had them complete a surgical task (mental rotation) and a working memory task. While the threat condition did not negatively impact women's performance, across conditions women had higher working memory then men.
-
The relationship between perceived gender judgment and well-being among surgical residents
American Journal of Surgery
We assessed the degree to which surgical residents are concerned about being judged for their gender or having their gender judged for their actions. We found that, for both men and women, having these concerns about their gender was associated with worse well-being. This highlights the importance of lessening the prevalence of gender schemas that suggest men and women can only behave in certain ways.
-
The relationship between self-efficacy and well-being among surgical residents
Journal of Surgical Education
(in press). We found that surgical residents' self-efficacy is relatively high, and self-efficacy is positively associated with positive well-being outcomes.
-
A needs assessment of education research topics among surgical educators in the United States
American Journal of Surgery
We used survey data of surgical educators to identify what areas they thought would be important for future research.

Grit as a predictor of risk of attrition in surgical residency
American Journal of Surgery
Building upon previous work showing that grit was positively associated with well-being outcomes among surgical residents, we then assessed the relationship of grit with risk of attrition as measured by self-report data. We found that those with more grit had lower risk of attrition.

Self-efficacy as a measure of confidence

I wrote a letter in response to a review article on confidence among surgical residents. I shared some data I had previously collected on self-efficacy among surgical residents.

A values affirmation intervention for improvement of female surgical residents’ surgical performance
Journal of Graduate Medical Education
We performed a randomized controlled trial of values affirmations among surgical residents. Women who were assigned to the treatment condition had significantly better performance, as measured by clinical evaluations, than those in the control condition. There was no difference in performance for men. These data are consistent with previous data on the impact of values affirmations interventions which show that groups at risk for stereotype threat benefit from the intervention while there is no…
We performed a randomized controlled trial of values affirmations among surgical residents. Women who were assigned to the treatment condition had significantly better performance, as measured by clinical evaluations, than those in the control condition. There was no difference in performance for men. These data are consistent with previous data on the impact of values affirmations interventions which show that groups at risk for stereotype threat benefit from the intervention while there is no significant impact to those who are not at risk for stereotype threat (the majority).

Emotional intelligence as a predictor of resident wellness and belonging
Journal of the American College of Surgeons
We measured emotional intelligence and correlated it with resident well-being and social belonging, finding that emotional intelligence was positively correlated with positive well-being outcomes.

Minimally invasive approaches to resection of benign/low grade gastric tumors
Surgical Endoscopy
We display four different minimally invasive approaches to resection of benign gastric tumors (wedge resection, circumferential resection, transgastric resection, and submucosal endoscopic resection).
-
Exploring the relationship between stereotype perception and residents’ well-being
Journal of the American College of Surgeons
This was one of the key papers that came out of my dissertation research. We identified that 1) both male and female residents perceive faculty, residents, and the public to believe men are better surgeons than women and 2) the more women perceived this (higher stereotype perception), the worse their psychological well-being was.

Prediction of neurosurgical intervention after mild traumatic brain injury using the national trauma data bank
World Journal of Emergency Surgery
We used a national trauma database to try to identify what data available in the ED can predict whether a patient will go on to have a significant brain injury requiring ICU monitoring or not.
-
Promoting balance in the lives of resident physicians: A call to action
JAMA Surgery
We wrote a call for action recognizing the current well-being crisis among surgical residents.
-
The relationship between grit and resident well-being
American Journal of Surgery
We assessed grit and its association with well-being (as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Duputy Psychological General Well-being Index) among surgical residents. In one of the earliest works assessing grit in surgical residents, we identified that grit was positively associated with positive well-being outcomes. The presentation of this work was selected as one of the top 10 presentations at the Association for Surgical Education that year.
