Therefore, we compare the case log distribution residents completed during their chief year to those completed by these graduates in their first two years in independent practice. METHODS: Resident chief year case logs from 2012-2020 were obtained from 10 institutions. Four categories of index procedures were included for analysis: General Urology; Endourology; Reconstructive Urology; and Urologic Oncology. CPT codes for the associated index procedures were used to query case log data collected by the American Board of Urology during these residents' first two years in independent practice. Interactions were tested between the trends of chief year case logs relative to trends in practice case logs. RESULTS: From a sample of 292 residents, a total of 104, 827 cases were logged during chief year and 77, 976 cases in the first two years as an attending. The majority of cases completed during chief year were in oncology followed by general urology, endourology, and reconstructive urology (Figure 1a). As attendings, the majority of cases completed were in general urology, followed by endourology, reconstructive urology, and oncology (Figure 1b). Chief year case logs showed significant decreasing trends in the median number of case logs in endourology and general urology while case logs in practice noted increasing trends in all index procedure categories over time (Table 1). CONCLUSIONS: Urology residents perform nearly twice as many cases during their chief year compared to their first two years of independent practice. Case types completed as chief residents versus subsequent clinical practice also differ. Case log trends highlight increases across all domains for urologists entering clinical practice. More research is needed, including correlating these findings with the completion of a fellowship, to understand the impact of these trends in practice and implications for residency training.
