Abstract
While the operative volume at our center remained stable over the study period, the experience of general surgery residents has become narrowed toward a less subspecialized, general surgery experience. These shifts may disproportionally impact trainees as observation learners operate less than action learners. Residency programs should therefore incorporate methods such as learning style assessment to identify residents at risk of a suboptimal experience.
