Background: Improvements in bariatric surgery outcomes have prompted policy initiatives that explore shifting bariatric surgery toward outpatient procedures. While the safety of early discharge after primary laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has been reported, its safety for revisional LRYGB remains uncertain. Our study aimed to investigate the safety and patient factors associated with early discharge in patients undergoing revisional LRYGB compared with primary LRYGB.

- - The study aimed to define a "well-prepared foundational resident" in surgical training using the ACGME General Surgery Milestones as a guide.
- - Participants included faculty and residents who evaluated competence levels at the end of PGY1, leading to the identification of key competencies and scoring gaps between residents and faculty.
- - Results showed notable differences in scores for Practice-Based Learning and Interpersonal Communication between residents and faculty, ultimately leading to the establishment of clear competency standards within the residency program.
The next era of assessment in medical education promises new assessment systems, increased focus on ensuring high-quality equitable patient care, and precision education to drive learning and improvement. The potential benefits of using learning analytics and technology to augment medical training abound. To ensure that the ideals of this future for medical education are realized, educators should partner with trainees to build and implement new assessment systems.
