The first year of residency is the beginning of a process
that should produce a thoughtful, knowledgeable and competent
surgeon. The first-year resident is at the beginning of five
years of education that will call upon the doctor to once
again become a student . These residents are introduced to
surgical thinking, traditions, and limitations. We instill
in them the notion that they must believe that they are the
patient. We want the resident to become a keen observer and
expert at history taking and physical examination. We will
tell them to pretend that they may only see a particular
disease presentation or operation once. That concept forces
the doctor to focus sharply on the moment. Throughout residency,
the mantra, "Do what's right," is stressed.
