Gastro-Intestinal Disorder
Conditions
Brief summary
Some reports cite over 80% of surgery residency graduates are seeking additional training to improve on their experiences to be ready for practice. The Fellowship Council created several fellowship tracts including HPB (Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary),Advanced GI (gastrointestinal) and Minimally Invasive surgery to address this issue, and bridge the gap in training between residency and real life practice in those that seek a practice in HPB or complex GI surgery, respectively. By the end of fellowship, the core goal is to make the graduating fellows ready for independent practice in HPB or complex GI surgery cases.
Detailed description
The main aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of our training within the Fellowship Council curriculums. In addition, we aim to examine the job market and perceptions regarding training for graduates of the Fellowship Council's fellowships domains.
Interventions
