The Right Way to Teach Left-Handed Residents: Strategies for Training by Right Handers.
Journal of Surgical Education 2018 March
PURPOSE: Left-handed (LH) residents remain underrepresented among surgical trainees, and there are few available data on how best to train them. The challenge is amplified when pairing a LH resident with a right-handed (RH) mentor. This report provides recommendations on how to improve the training of LH surgeons in a safe and effective manner.
METHODS: A comprehensive literature review was performed using different databases and search engines to identify all articles relevant to the training of LH residents.
RESULTS: A total of 40 articles highlighted the challenges for LH surgical residents and RH mentors. Our recommendations are based on the following 4 themes: identifying inherent differences in left vs. RH residents, providing guidance to RH mentors training LH residents, adapting the RH environment to the LH surgeon, and maximizing safety during training.
CONCLUSION: An organized approach needs to be taken in training the LH resident. Changes should be instituted at program-wide and national levels to ensure that the training experience of the sinistral surgical resident is optimized.
