Abstract:
PURPOSE:Despite the overall shift in care delivery to an ambulatory setting, the majority of general surgical education still relies on the experience of caring for inpatients. We aimed to investigate how the inpatient practice patterns of newly minted general surgeons (GS) have changed since 2008, in order to better inform education policies regarding both training approach and setting for modern surgical trainees. METHODS:State discharge data from NY and FL (2008-2017) were linked to data on GS from the American Medical Association Masterfile, and to hospital data from the American Hospital Association annual survey. Mean annual inpatient case volume (CV) and case type breadth (CB) were compared between surgeons who were new-to-practice (0-3 years of experience) in 2008 and in 2013. Each new surgeon cohort was followed for 5 years. Case type was classified by organ system. RESULTS:The 2008 cohort included 328 GS with a mean age of 37.1, 79.6% male and 94.2% board-certified. The 2013 cohort included 359 GS with a mean age of 36.2, 73.0% male and 93.9% board-certified. CV was higher among the 2008 cohort than the 2013 cohort for each year of practice in the study period. CB included at least 4 organ system types for all new GS with greater breadth among the 2008 cohort for each year in the study period. CONCLUSIONS:Declining rates of inpatient surgery affect general surgeons who were new-to-practice in 2013 significantly more than those entering practice only 5 years ahead of them. New surgeons continue to start their practices broadly, suggesting a need to continue broad training while expanding formal educational policies to include the full spectrum of ambulatory surgery.
