Understanding Performance: Enhancing Recovery as Surgeons

Completed

Conditions studied: Burnout, Professional

In brief

Reliably achieving peak performance requires balancing the strain of the prior day with sufficient recovery to be ready for the next day. Surgery has a long standing tradition long hours of hard work often at the expense of adequate sleep. Decreased sleep and recovery has physiologic consequences which can be measured using biometric data. The goal of this study is to quantify surgeon performance and biometric data to understand how modifiable behaviors can maximize recovery and performance.
