Examining the Influence of a General Surgery Resident's Transplant Experience on Their Pursuit of Transplant Surgery Fellowship
Background
Transplant surgery has historically been a less desirable fellowship among general surgery graduates. Limited work has been done to understand factors associated with residents’ interest in transplantation. Using a multi-institutional cohort, we examined how the resident experience on transplant surgery may influence their decision to pursue transplant fellowship.
Methods
Individual demographics, program characteristics, and transplant-specific case logs were collected for graduates from 2010 to 2020 at 20 general surgery residency programs within the US Resident OPerative Experience (ROPE) Consortium. Residents who pursued transplant surgery fellowship were compared to those who went directly into practice or pursued a non-transplant fellowship.
Results
Among 1342 general surgery graduates, 52 (3.9%) pursued abdominal transplant fellowship. These residents completed more transplant (22 vs. 9), liver (14 vs. 9), pancreas (15 vs. 11), and vascular access operations (38 vs. 30) compared to residents who did not pursue transplant fellowship (all p < 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression found that residents underrepresented in medicine were three times more likely (95% CI 1.54–6.58, p < 0.01) and residents at a program co-located with a transplant fellowship six times more likely (95% CI 1.95–18.18, p < 0.01) to pursue transplant fellowship. Additionally, a resident's increasing total transplant operative volume was associated with an increased likelihood of pursuing a transplant fellowship (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.09–1.14, p < 0.01).
Conclusion
The findings from this multi-institutional study demonstrate that increased exposure to transplant operations and interaction within a transplant training program is associated with a resident's pursuit of transplant surgery fellowship. Efforts to increase operative exposure, case participation, and mentorship may optimize the resident experience and promote the transplant surgery pipeline.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
