Surgical residents’ procedural experience directly correlates with their performance on the American Board of Surgery Inservice Training Examination (ABSITE). This highlights the importance of hands-on training in graduate surgical education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Assessment Methods

Background:

  • Prospective study evaluating operative experience versus American Board of Surgery Inservice Training Examination (ABSITE) performance.
  • Investigating the role of procedural experience in graduate surgical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the correlation between surgical residents' operative experience and their ABSITE scores.
  • To establish the significance of procedural volume in resident assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Operative logs quantified surgical procedures performed by residents.
  • ABSITE (1991, Report D) items were mapped to surgical procedures.
  • Frequency of correct response (Fcr) was compared to the fraction of procedures (Fs) using Pearson correlation.

Main Results:

  • 42 residents logged 8357 procedures over 12 months.
  • 162 of 209 ABSITE items were linked to 26 surgical procedure categories.
  • A significant direct correlation (p = 0.002, r = 0.605) was found between Fcr and Fs.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical residents' hands-on experience as the primary surgeon is significantly associated with their ABSITE performance.
  • Procedural experience is a key factor in evaluating resident competency.
