Summary
General surgery residents’ feedback satisfaction varies by program size, type, and region. Larger programs and Northeast locations were associated with lower satisfaction, highlighting areas for improvement in surgical education.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Training
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Investigating general surgery residents' (GSRs) perceptions of feedback is crucial for improving training.
- Existing research on resident feedback is limited, necessitating exploration of factors influencing satisfaction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore general surgery residents' perceptions of feedback quality, amount, and timeliness.
- To analyze how program characteristics (region, size, type) impact feedback satisfaction.
Main Methods:
- An optional survey was administered to general surgery residents post-ABSITE, querying feedback on rotations.
- Data collected included feedback quality, amount, timeliness, overall satisfaction, and program characteristics.
- Bivariate and multivariable analyses, including ordinal regression, were used to analyze the data.
Main Results:
- Overall feedback satisfaction decreased with increasing program size (Q1-Q4).
- Residents in University-affiliated, Independent academic centers, and Southeast regions reported higher satisfaction than those in University-based programs and the Northeast.
- Satisfaction with feedback on best rotations was higher outside the Northeast, and larger programs showed lower satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- Program characteristics significantly influence resident feedback satisfaction.
- No consistent interaction trends were observed between program characteristics.
- Findings can guide program leaders in enhancing feedback quality and addressing disparities in surgical education.

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:
