Characteristics of Highly Creative Surgeons

An International Cohort Study (HiREB Project #18519) - Dr Mohit Bhandari and Alex Thabane
Thanks for participating in this survey on creativity in surgery! The whole survey should take about 8 minutes to complete.

There are 3 sections: a demographics section (this page), survey of professional and creativity-related characteristics (next page), and a quick 3-minute creativity test!

The test is better on the computer -- but is also mobile-friendly!

**By completing the survey you are implying consent to participate. You can email thabanla@mcmaster.ca if you have any study-related questions!
