ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS:
Our aim was to determine the postgraduate year (PGY) of residency at which residents achieve competence in key otolaryngologic procedures as perceived by residents and program directors (PDs), determine resident or programmatic factors affecting PGY at which residents perceive attainment of competence, and evaluate the relationship between resident and PD perceptions for attainment of competence in these procedures. STUDYDESIGN:
Cross-sectional survey.METHODS:
We surveyed residents and PDs in US otolaryngology residencies in 2011 using SurveyMonkey.com and assessed subjective attainment of competence by residents for 32 otolaryngologic procedures. PGY at which subjective competence achieved per resident perception was determined using a logistic regression model; PD perception was determined by mean calculation.RESULTS:
Two hundred seventy-seven residents (19.45%) and 39 PDs (37.86%) completed surveys. Residents achieved subjective competence later than expected by PDs for 25 of 32 procedures, although differences were generally small. The largest disparities were observed for nonsurgical office-based procedures, for which <90% of residents reported competence by PGY-5, whereas PDs expected competence before PGY-3. The greatest number of disparities was present in the subspecialty area of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Male gender predicted earlier self-reported attainment of competence in 10 of 32 procedures (P < .05). Degrees held, fellowship plans, and the size of the program were not significant predictors of PGY at which residents reported competence for most procedures.CONCLUSIONS:
We provide baseline data on PGY at which residents and PDs feel competence is achieved in key otolaryngologic procedures. These results may guide milestone development for resident training and assessment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA.Palavras-chave
