Association of Time to Attrition in Surgical Residency With Individual Resident and Programmatic Factors.

ABSTRACT: Importance:Attrition in general surgery residency remains high, and attrition that occurs in the later years is the most worrisome. Although several studies have retrospectively investigated the timing of attrition, no study to date has prospectively evaluated a national cohort of residents to understand which residents are at risk for attrition and at what point during residency. Objective:To prospectively evaluate individual resident and programmatic factors associated with the timing of attrition during general surgery residency. Design, Setting, and Participants:This longitudinal, national cohort study administered a survey to all categorical general surgery interns from the class of 2007-2008 during their first 30 days of residency and linked the data with 9-year follow-up data assess
