according to the numbers from the regional match stats, only 85% of available general surgery spots filled.
what are surgery programs going to do? with so many unfilled positions and the new 80 hr work week restrictions, it looks like a lot of programs are going to be in a bind.
maybe this will lead to better compensation for surgeons in the future, as the need for them increases? it definitely looks like a low point now for general surg.
other stats from the numbers given:
family practice - 80% filled
internal med - 93% filled
peds - 94% filled
psych - 93% filled
ob/gyn - 92% filled
ortho - 99% filled
derm - 100% filled
rad onc - 100% filled
