Making of a surgeon

Residency is a job. Not a primary educational pursuit.
Residency is a passive system that depends on the patients that come
through the door.
Deliberate practice.
Currently limited in surgical training.
Surgical rotations do not allow development of mental models and
pattern recognition of surgical disease.
Medical school tracks surgery vs medicine.
- move basic science to undergrad.
- more opportunities for lifelong learning
