Training programs were assessed on 6 educational components including operative case volume and diversity, intra-operative hands-on training, morning teaching sessions, seminars, ward rounds, and research opportunities.

Results

Of 82 eligible residents, 69 (84.1%) responded to the survey. Overall resident satisfaction (rated from 0-10)
