Key result
Surgical education currently lacks evidence to determine the superiority of different international curricula or to distinguish the progress of junior surgeons during residency training.
Why the study?
No study has analyzed the surgical educational programs of different countries to establish which system is superior, and evidence distinguishing surgical competence and training progress remains scarce amid working hour restrictions.
