A nationwide curriculum analysis of integrated plastic surgery training: is training standardized?
The plastic surgery experience in the first 3 years of residency training varies by a greater than 6-fold difference among integrated programs. This was also found in the 2.5-fold and 6-fold differences in general surgery and subspecialty surgery experiences. Since standardized residency training is an expectation by both accrediting bodies and the public, this variability may warrant closer attention.
Standardized cine-loop documentation enables accurate offline reading in abdominal ultrasound and shows high agreement with immediate bedside reading.
