Business and practice management principles are critical components of healthcare provision. Business and practice management is currently undertaught in plastic surgery training programs. The objective was to assess the status of business and practice management teaching amongst plastic surgery programs in Canada. An online survey of all enrolled plastic surgery residents was conducted in 2019 to 2020. Participants were invited to rate their knowledge and confidence about core principles in business and practice management. Sixty-five out of 126 residents responded to this survey (response rate, 51.6%). Only 7.8% of participants had previous business and practice management training; 23.1% reported receiving training in business and practice management during their residency. Participants reported a low level of knowledge and confidence in business and practice management (average Likert score between 3 and 4). Participants reported a high desire for future training in business and practice management particularly in billing and coding (91.2%) and business operations (91.2%). Plastic surgery residents in Canada reported a low level of knowledge and confidence about business and practice management. They desire the inclusion of business and practice management training in future curriculum.
商业与实践管理原则是医疗保健服务的关键组成部分。目前，整形外科学培训项目中对商业与实践管理的教学不足。目的是评估加拿大整形外科学项目中商业与实践管理教学的现状。2019年至2020年对所有注册的整形外科住院医师进行了一项在线调查。邀请参与者对他们在商业与实践管理核心原则方面的知识和信心进行评分。126名住院医师中有65人回复了该调查（回复率为51.6%）。只有7.8%的参与者曾接受过商业与实践管理培训；23.1%的人报告在住院期间接受过商业与实践管理培训。参与者表示在商业与实践管理方面的知识和信心水平较低（李克特量表平均得分在3到4之间）。参与者表示非常希望未来能接受商业与实践管理培训，尤其是在计费与编码（91.2%）和业务运营（91.2%）方面。加拿大的整形外科住院医师在商业与实践管理方面的知识和信心水平较低。他们希望在未来的课程中纳入商业与实践管理培训。
