BACKGROUND: This study assesses the outcomes of nondesignated preliminary (NDP) residents in general surgery (GS) at an independent, nonuniversity training program. METHODS: Records of all NDP residents from 1984-1985 through 2008-2009 were reviewed, and residents' careers were followed. Designated preliminary and categorical residents were excluded. RESULTS: Sixty-two residents completed the NDP year. Three of these residents also completed a second postgraduate NDP year. A total of 60 NDPs (97%) continued in accredited postgraduate programs. Forty-eight graduates (77%) pursued surgery-associated careers: 26 (42%) in GS and 22 (35%) in other surgery-related specialties. Eleven of the 26 NDPs who entered GS (42%) became categorical residents in our program. All NDP GS graduates are board certified, board eligible, or are residents in training. CONCLUSIONS: After a preliminary year in GS, NDPs continued in postgraduate medical education followed by board certification, usually in GS or surgery-related specialties. NDPs often obtain categorical positions in the parent GS program. |
