A study involving 20 institutions and over 1,300 general surgery residents found that those with the lowest logged case volume were more likely to be female, identify as underrepresented in medicine, and pursue fellowships. Additionally, they were more likely to have graduated from low-volume programs and institutions with lower National Institutes of Health funding. Understanding these disparities is essential for promoting equity in surgical education, potentially improving the operative experience for residents in the bottom quartile of case volume.
