Residency Program Characteristics Associated with Higher Cataract Surgery Volume
CONCLUSION: All ophthalmology residency programs included in this study currently meet or exceed the ACGME requirements for cataract surgery case numbers. The presence of a VA training site and a higher number of fellowship positions were associated with higher mean resident cataract surgery volumes. Residency programs may consider further investing in these areas when seeking to improve resident surgical education. Additionally, residency applicants prioritizing cataract surgery volume may consider these factors when evaluating programs.PMID:37306262 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2223295
