Discussion

DR GILBERT R UPCHURCH (Gainesville, FL): In this work from the University of Virginia and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), Dr Robinson and coauthors have examined the ACGME case logs of general surgery residents from 2002 to 2017 in order to determine if the presence of a new vascular fellowship affected the number of vascular surgery cases being performed by general surgery residents. As part of their methodology, they selected the 4 years before as the “ramp up” phase, and then compared that with 4 years afterward to determine if there were differences in the number of cases.
