Residents describe learning breast surgery ERAS and postoperative pain management by imitating their seniors, observing patient encounters, completing templated orders, and translating concepts from other ERAS services more so than from formal lectures. When implementing breast ERAS protocols, it is important to consider how informal learning and local culture influence pain management and discharge practices. Ultimately, residents believe in ERAS and often request further educational tools to better connect the daily how-to of breast ERAS pathways with the why behind the enhanced recovery principles.
