Abstract

As funding streams for graduate medical education undergo changes at the federal, state and institutional levels, surgery departments need to find innovative ways to provide a high-quality education to medical students and surgical trainees. To further compound the issue, technological advances in medicine, changing population demographics and transformations in healthcare delivery all increase the cost of providing a comprehensive surgical education in an increasingly unstable funding environment. With predictions of a significant general surgeon shortage in 2050, surgical departments need to be savvy in resource allocation and utilization to meet this demand. The business and financing of surgical education needs to be fiscally responsible, innovative and solution-driven to adequately tackle the currently dynamic medical and funding landscape.
