Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational project uses an anonymous questionnaire administered to fourth- and fifth-year general surgery residents in ACGME-accredited U.S. programs. It gathers information on who provides GI procedural training, residents' self-reported competence with common and complex GI procedures, and interest in pursuing an Advanced GI fellowship. Responses will be analyzed to identify training gaps, patterns in faculty teaching, and trainee readiness for independent GI surgical practice. No clinical interventions are performed and participation is limited to senior residents.
