Abstract

Background

Many US general surgery residents are interested in global surgery, but their competence with key procedures is unknown.

Methods

Using a registry managed by the Society for Improving Medical Professional Learning (SIMPL), we extracted longitudinal operative performance ratings data for a national cohort of US general surgery residents. Operative performance at the time of graduation was estimated via a Bayesian generalized linear mixed model.

Results

Operative performance ratings for 12,976 procedures performed by 1584 residents in 52 general surgery programs were analyzed. These spanned 17 of 31 (55%) procedures deemed important for global surgical practice. For these procedures, the probability of a graduating resident being deemed competent to perform a procedure was 0.95 (95% confidence interval 0.86–1.00) but was less than 0.9 for 3 observed procedures.

Conclusion

Our results highlight gaps in the preparedness of US general surgery trainees to perform procedures deemed most important for global surgery settings.

Highlights

•	General surgery residents' performance for key global surgery procedures was examined.
•	Trainees were observed performing approximately half of these procedures.
•	Performance of graduating residents on some key global surgery procedures was uneven.
•	New surgeons may need additional training to safely operate in a global setting.
