Background: Although many parathyroid and thyroid operations are performed by nonfellowship-trained general surgeons in the United States, there is growing uncertainty of whether graduating residents can perform these procedures competently. This study investigates trends in competency and autonomy among general surgery residents performing parathyroid and thyroid operations using a national survey-based dataset.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the Society for Improving Medical Professional Learning database was performed.
