Abstract

Trauma video review (TVR) is a powerful technology with a rapidly expanding role in trauma performance improvement, education, and research. Video review is particularly well suited for evaluating elements not found in the medical record such as rapid changes in patient condition, medical decision making, resuscitation tempo, and team leadership. As such, TVR is an ideal tool for general surgery trainee education and as a means to evaluate multiple ACGME Core Competencies and entrustable professional activities. This article describes the development of a TVR program and the novel way in which we have integrated TVR into our resident trauma curriculum.

Keywords: T-NOTECHS; Trauma video review; competency-based training; entrustable professional activities; non-technical skills; trauma team dynamics; video-based education.
