This study sought to determine to what extent surgery programs are remediating residents who fail to achieve competency and to offer remediation strategies. ⋯ Surgery residency programs are cognizant of the reality that some residents perform unsatisfactorily. Most have remediation plans for residents and understand that a process needs to be in place. Remediation methods tend to vary depending on the deficit and are devised tailored to the resident's needs.
