The study investigated the impact of value congruence (vc) on well-being and job retention among general surgery residents. Survey #1 revealed a lack of vc, with themes of inaccessibility, inconsiderateness, inauthenticity, and insufficiency of well-being resources. Program directors had varying awareness and alignment with these perceptions. Survey #2 showed that higher vc was significantly associated with increased flourishing. The findings highlight the need for open dialogue and institutional actions to address the perceived lack of vc and optimize well-being in surgical residency programs.
