Which programs have you guys seen / heard of that have good amounts of resident autonomy / opportunities to actually operate as opposed to watching the attending operate?
A lot of the “top tier” programs seem to be more about academics and less about the surgically experience
The UCLA residents have great autonomy. I was very impressed at the amount they go to do on my sub-I! And as a result, most of the residents let the students do a lot in the OR.
USC, Emory, Barrow, UCSF, Pitt, among others

In general, it seems like places affiliated with private groups (ex. Barrow, Indiana, UT Memphis) give their residents lots of autonomy. Same goes for places where residents rotate through county hospitals (ex. Baylor, Emory, Miami, USC). Other examples that come to mind are Pitt, UAB, and Vanderbilt, among others.
Henry ford, Detroit medical, Cincinnati, rush, Illinois.
tons of mid west programs
I agree, the private groups are well known for their clinical training and the autonomy they give residents
-Barrow
-Tennessee
-Indiana
-Carolinas
Other places that have good reputation for clinical training and/or autonomy:
-UCSF
-Pitt
-Washington
-USC
-NYU
-Emory
-Baylor
-Miami
So what are you saying?
That if you don't train at one of these places, you won't be a good surgeon?
