E76 Colin Schieman On Direct Entry Training And Intra Operative Teaching

This week we have a treat for our listeners – two episodes with Dr. Colin Schieman. Dr. Schieman is a thoracic surgeon at the University of Calgary and the current program director for the thoracic surgery program. We discuss a key issue in modern surgical training – are direct entry programs good or bad for training and trainees? Dr. Schieman also gives his approach for intra operative teaching. Don’t forget to check out our bonus episode this week, where Dr. Schieman gives us his approach to lung nodules and lung cancer screening!Links:1.
