Abstract
Breast case operative experience for general surgery residents decreased by 17% between 2000 and 2015, despite increase in overall operative volume. Residents have less experience in more advanced cases including axillary management, raising concern about the proficiency of graduating surgeons with respect to these procedures. It is reasonable to set national minimums for resident breast operative experience to ensure that individuals are appropriately trained to perform these cases in practice.
