Title
NOBL FIIISTT: Framing concepts for the beginner learner in surgery
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
Learning the concepts of surgery, like any specialized field, can be hard work. Its technical language, diagnostic and procedural concepts, unique problems and solutions, and even the surgeon's mindset can easily confuse and intimidate the beginner surgical learner. Most medical students are reduced to memorizing an overwhelming list of words and facts rather than developing a meaningful understanding of the underlying principles.
Summary of the Innovation
NOBL FIIISTT is an easily understood conceptual framework for the early surgical learner at the threshold of the more intensive surgical education encountered in their clinical years of training. NOBL FIIISTT is an acronym for those elements of diagnosis and care in which surgeons, as physical interventionists, may play a key role: N-Neoplasms, O-Obstructions, B-Bleeds, L-Leaks, F-Function disorders, I-Inflammatory conditions, I-Infections, I-Ischemia, S-Structural disease, TT-Trauma/Tissue damage. These are the elements of surgical disease and are not confined within organ systems or surgical disciplines, nor are they mutually exclusive. It can help connect the anatomic, physiologic and diagnostic elements that might initially appear conceptually far apart.
Conclusion
NOBL FIIISTT has shown utility as an educational tool in the pre-clinical and clerkship years and also as a pre-graduation surgery review course. The presentation, study and discussion of the NOBL FIIISTT elements helps create meaning for the early surgical learner.
