General surgery residents’ dedicated research time is common but inconsistently structured. Perceptions of this research sabbatical vary significantly between residents and program directors, highlighting a need for clearer guidelines.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Dedicated research periods are increasingly integrated into general surgery residency programs.
  • The structure and definition of these research sabbaticals are often inconsistent across institutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the perceptions of general surgery program directors and residents regarding dedicated research sabbaticals.
  • To identify variations in experiences related to research time, funding, and opportunity acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • An observational, survey-based study was conducted.
  • Surveys were distributed to general surgery program directors and residents on research sabbaticals.
  • Data from 752 surveys (120 PDs, 632 residents) were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • 44.1% of residents felt their research time delayed surgical training.
  • Resident perceptions of research funding sources varied, with 46.7% funded by programs and 30.9% independently.
  • A majority of residents (53.3%) reported their program provided their research opportunity.

Conclusions:

  • Research sabbaticals are crucial for academic development in surgery.
  • Significant discrepancies exist between program directors' and residents' views on research sabbaticals.
  • Developing standardized guidelines for research sabbaticals could enhance program structure and resident experience.
