BACKGROUND: Despite the largely unmet need, relatively few medical school graduates enrol in surgical residency and fewer surgical specialists work rurally in low- and middle-income countries. Surgical housemanship is the only formal training for medical graduates who will become the main surgical care providers in underserved areas. This study aimed to evaluate Ghanaian surgical housemanship (internship) and its impact on independent medical practice. METHODS: A nationwide questionnaire survey of surgical trainees from seven teaching or regional-level hospitals ascertained the experience and self-confidence levels for 35 training objectives set by the Medical and Dental Council of Ghana, and suggestions to improve surgical training quality...

BACKGROUND: Assessment of trainee performance in the workplace is critical to ensuring high standards of clinical care. However, some supervisors find the task to be challenging, and may feel unable to deliver their true judgement on a trainee's performance. They may 'keep MUM' (that is, keep mum about undesirable messages) and fail to fail an underperforming trainee. In this study, we explore the effect of discomfort on assessors. METHODS: Using a survey method, supervisors of trainees in the Australasian College of Dermatologists were asked to self-report experiences of discomfort in various aspects of trainee workplace assessment and for their engagement in MUM behaviours including failure to fail...
