Finding Them a Spot: A Successful Preliminary Match Curriculum
In the 2018 Match, there were more preliminary general surgery positions available (1363) than there were categorical general surgery positions (1319). It has been this way for the last few years.1 Though some of the preliminary general surgery residents start their year with a position already secured for their following year, most do not. These residents begin their training as a physician with an uncertain future. They are expected to function at the same level as a categorical resident with the added burden of recovering from a disappointing Match and entering the process all over again without full assurance of succes...

Designing a Comprehensive Professional Development Program in a Surgery Department: Process, Measures, and Lessons Learned
Departments within academic medical centers are typically comprised of clinical and research faculty, administrative staff, residents, and in many instances advance practice providers (APPs). Each member of these groups of people, at 1 point, took time, effort, and money to recruit, hire, and train. It is therefore important to consider ways to increase the “return on investment” of hiring each member of a department as well as maintaining a high level of department vitality. The Department of Surgery at Indiana University has never had a robust professional development program for all of its members. (Source: Journal ...

Training Surgical Residents for Ultrasound-Guided Assessment and Management of Unstable Patients
Proficiency in the use of ultrasound is presently not an ACGME required core competency for accredited surgical training. There should be a basic unified ultrasound curriculum for surgical trainees. We developed a multimodal ultrasound-training program to ensure baseline proficiency and readiness for clinical performance without impacting trainee duty hours.
