They didn’t forget. That was always the point. They just got caught.
So what happens to their residents now?
They usually get absorbed by way better programs ironically.
It’s like affirmative action with taking bad residents.
We can only hope that the increased competitiveness of anesthesia means that even residents at the bottom barrel residencies are better than their historical counterparts.
Board scores and grades don't tell the whole story, but in my experience as an attending at a training institution for the last 5+ years, there is certainly a correlation between scoring well on those things and being able to learn and incorporate the required knowledge base of the full scope of anesthesiology. Plus, the better learner / test taker you are, the easier it is spend a significant amount of time on the practical portions of anesthesia rather than worrying if you're going to bomb the ITE or fail ABA Basic.
I suspect residents who had professionalism issues / work ethic issues / gross incompetence noted on their MSPE are much more likely to match at an HCA residency than at a solid mid-tier state university program.
So why would your program graduate these residents? That’s where the problem starts. If they suck why is it OK to pass them?
Did they improve?
Lmao because no program wants to say their resident graduation rate is 50%….that’ll make them so attractive to subsequent applicants….
How about actually work with the residents and make them competent instead of unleashing them to the unsuspecting public?? This is some Crap. And yet some residents get put thru the ringer over some BS that has nothing to do with competence.
And you wonder why some programs get shut down, placed on probation, lose their accreditation? This is real life.
Real life? I thought it was a video game. So please pardon my ignorance there.

Just curious, what would you consider some common anesthesia bad habits? Now I'm wondering how many of these I have subconsciously picked up as a relatively new attending.
Watching a movie or soccer match on your iPad during a case?
Not putting monitors on prior to induction, or removing them prior to extubation.
Hey hey hey!! We gotta eat!!! In some places stashing food under equipment is the only way!!!
I believe that is a prime reason the program was shut down many years ago (15-20?). The allegations included CRNAs getting the cases they wanted and residents only got the leftovers. Plus, the CRNAs would get breaks and take care of each other but no one looked out for the residents. Faculty / surgeons and CRNAs were longtime friends whose families vacationed together, so they got some favoritism. Residents felt like outsiders, as it was described on this forum long ago. It sounded miserable.
Shut them down!!! I believe there is one that I learned on here that is now on probation for the same BS. It was in the NE and someone was complaining of almost the exact same thing. Either they are on probation or getting shut down. Can't remember but it's one of these corporate run entities. Let me look it up actually.
