Evaluating Plastic Surgery Resident Satisfaction Globally: Predictors and Recommendations for Training Enhancement.

Background: Measures of quality in resident training in plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) programs are scarce and often methodologically inconsistent. Our research provides insights from current PRS trainees globally, mapping their training inputs, expected outputs, and recommendations for program improvements.

Methods: A global online survey was conducted among PRS residents across 70 countries to gauge their satisfaction with residency training, capturing training inputs such as the number of surgeries attended and seminars they participated in.

Can State Family Support Policies Level the Playing Field for Early-Career Women in Plastic Surgery? An Analysis of Web-Scraped Data.

Policies protecting reproductive rights and mandating paid family leave (PFL) boost women's participation and productivity in the workplace.

Human Capital and Productivity in Surgery Research Across the Globe: A Big Data Analysis Using Artificial Intelligence.

Introduction: No investigation of each nation's contribution to knowledge production and human capital in surgery currently exists. Previous studies explored country-level research productivity only in few surgical subspecialties. To identify current and future leaders in surgery research, we conduct a retrospective observational study of each country's human capital and research productivity.
