Anesthesiology residents can generate significant direct clinical revenue that exceeds their direct training costs.
Turner et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Anesthesiology residency training. Clinical activities of anesthesiology residents was evaluated on Direct revenue and costs. Clinical activities of anesthesiology residents generated an estimated $1,500,000 in direct revenue against a total cost of nearly $1,300,000 for the residency program over a one-year period.
