| Popis: | Background The satisfaction of surgical residents with their training programs is a key indicator for program effectiveness. This survey was conducted to assess the level of perceived satisfaction of surgical residents with the current training programs in Eastern Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods Resident satisfaction was measured by questionnaire in 119 selected participants at 9 training centers in Eastern Saudi Arabia, as part of the general surgery residency program of Saudi Commission for Health Specialties. Results The survey response rate was 69.7% (83/119) resident participants. A total of 37 (44.6%) residents expressed dissatisfaction with their current training programs. The residents were least satisfied with research opportunities (78.3%), followed by faculty didactic involvement (59%), mentorship (51.8%), and case volume (41%) offered in their programs. Conclusion The general low level of satisfaction among surgical residents in Eastern Saudi Arabia warrants a national review of the current programs. Resident satisfaction should be considered as a potent factor while conferring accreditation to surgical training programs across the country. |
