Hi friends,
Just wondering which programs out there have minimal research requirements for residents. Essentially, I'm looking for a program that will allow me to operate as much as possible without the imposed research requirements (e.g. >2 publications per year, 24 months in PGY5-6, etc). Obviously, operative autonomy and research experience are not mutually exclusive, but curious if there is a list out there with programs that really allow residents to hone their surgical skills preferentially over their research/academic skills (especially if you're a PhD with more research than the average person could care for). Would be nice to get some resident input!
- Programs with zero research requirement (does this exist?).
- Academic programs with low research reqs.
- Academic programs with med/high research reqs.
Disclaimer: I have a few pubs and have really enjoyed research but realize that it's not something I really want to devote my 30s-50s to. Thanks in advance, all!
