Can you get a trauma surgery job in a major city without a Surgical critical care fellowship? Don't you learn a good amount of trauma critical care in a 5 year residency?

Level 1? I've been wondering about this topic too.A lot of general surgeons take trauma call without fellowship training.
Are you talking about the Transition to Practice program? http://bulletin.facs.org/2013/09/ac...ents-additional-opportunities-to-hone-skills/Anybody else hear about the president of ABS wanting every GS resident to take one year of fellowship before being allowed to practice ? So maybe an extra year of trauma may not be such a bad thing.
Ah yes, I've been trying to click on the link to the article (I get Gen Surg News on-line) since Thursday and it doesn't seem to work; I'd like to think there's been some pushback because of that article but it appears that all their links are non-functional.No - the Executive Director of the ABS gave a speech in which he said that he believes general surgery graduates are inadequately prepared to practice and that fellowships should be mandatory. He clarified that this is his personal opinion and not the viewpoint of the ABS, but it is nonetheless concerning.
