## Resource

Surgery has never been more complicated. The variety of surgical approaches and the complexity of treatment continue to grow exponentially, yet in many institutions, surgical training has not really changed. Dr. Adnan Alseidi, our guest for this episode, is trying to change that. Dr. Adnan Alseidi is a liver and pancreas surgeon at UCSF and is the associate dean of assessment, improvement, and accreditation. He recently gave the Langer lecture at the Canadian Surgical Forum in Montreal this year about surgical education and the path from novice to master. This episode was really a moment for us to ask all our burning questions about surgical education. What are the phases of mastery? Should we really be aiming for mastery? And how do we create trust between attending and trainees? We’d love to hear your thoughts and comments, so email us at podcast.cjs@gmail.com . Links: Medical school accreditation is outdated.
