General surgery residents have different training experiences at university, community and military programs, according to a study in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.
Researchers at the Yale School of Medicine and other healthcare organizations reviewed a national survey of U.S. general surgery residents in university, community and military surgical training programs. They found community residents were most satisfied with their operative experience, most likely to feel their opinions are important and least likely to believe attending physicians will think less of them if residents ask for help.
Military residents were least likely to report that training is too long.
