Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Compliance and Resident Competence in Hepatopancreaticobiliary Surgery during General Surgery Residency: A Program Director Review

摘要

OBJECTIVE: A survey of general surgery (GS) program directors (PD) was performed to determine how Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) requirements are met and compare the findings with previous national averages. The objectives were to establish whether GS residencies are in compliance with ACGME recommendations. Secondary objectives aimed to determine if fellowship affects residency training.
