AIM: This study aimed to develop a blended training module focusing on ethical approaches within general surgery residency training and to assess the impact of this training on participants. METHODS: Based on the literature review and input from both general surgery residents and trainers, 14 topics were identified, and corresponding learning objectives were formulated. The training was conducted through a blended learning module, which encompassed online video presentations alongside face-to-face sessions involving real-life cases. Assessment of the training involved administering test-formatted exams both before and after the training, which assessed the learning objectives of the 14 topics. These exams comprised multiple-choice questions and true/false inquiries based on case-based propositions. Additionally, feedback regarding the training was solicited from the residents. RESULTS: The study involved 20 general surgery residents. Assessment revealed a statistically significant increase in exam success among the residents after the training (p<0.001). Additionally, feedback indicated that the training model was effective. CONCLUSIONS: Developing a blended learning module that combines online and face-to-face education, supplemented with real-life case studies, and incorporating discussions on ethical dilemmas during face-to-face sessions, along with assessment through exams, will significantly enhance the proficiency of residents in surgical ethics.
