Background: Prior analyses of general surgery resident case logs have indicated a decline in the number of endocrine procedures performed during residency. This study aimed to identify factors contributing to the endocrine operative experience of general surgery residents and compare those who matched in endocrine surgery fellowship with those who did not.
Methods: We analyzed the case log data of graduates from 18 general surgery residency programs in the US Resident Operative Experience Consortium over an 11-year period.
Objective: To examine differences in resident operative experience between male and female general surgery residents.
Background: Despite increasing female representation in surgery, sex and gender disparities in residency experience continue to exist. The operative volume of male and female general surgery residents has not been compared on a multi-institutional level.
Objective: To determine the relationship between race/ethnicity and case volume among graduating surgical residents.
Background: Racial/ethnic minority individuals face barriers to entry and advancement in surgery; however, no large-scale investigations of the operative experience of racial/ethnic minority residents have been performed.
Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective analysis of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education case logs of categorical general surgery residents at 20 programs in the US Resident OPerative Experience Consortium database was performed.
Background: Single-center data suggest that general surgery residents perform more cases related to their future fellowship compared with their peers. This study aimed to determine whether this experience was true for residents across multiple programs.
Study Design: Data from graduates of 18 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited general surgery residency programs in the US Resident OPerative Experience (ROPE) Consortium were analyzed.
