Gender-Based Differences in Surgical Residents' Perceptions of Patient Safety, Continuity of Care and Well-Being: An Analysis from the Flexibility in Duty Hour Requirements for Surgical Trainees (FIRST) Trial.
Little is known about gender differences in residency training experiences and whether duty hour policies affect these differences. Using data from the Flexibility in Duty Hour Requirements for Surgical Trainees (FIRST) trial, we examined gender differences in surgical resident perceptions of patient safety, education, health and well-being, and job satisfaction, and assessed whether duty hour policies affected gender differences. ⋯ Gender differences exist in perceptions of surgical residency. These differences vary across cohorts and can be influenced by duty hour policies.
