Limited knowledge of CoC Standards in surgical trainees

Surgical trainees show significant gaps in understanding critical cancer surgery standards, impacting surgical outcomes.

• Only 30% of trainees received formal training on CoC operative standards.
• Correct response rates were just 30% for CoC standards versus 50% for core cancer principles.

Incorporating education on these standards is crucial for improving surgical quality and documentation practices.

• 71% of residents actively contribute to operative documentation but lack foundational knowledge of standards.
