Burnout is associated with emotional intelligence but not traditional job performance measurements in surgical residents.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether burnout was associated with emotional intelligence and job performance in surgical residents. The investigators found that burnout was present in surgery residents and was associated with emotional intelligence. There was no association of burnout with United States Medical Licensing Examination scores, American Board of Surgery In-Training Exam percentile, or surgical milestones. The investigators suggested that traditional methods of assessing resident performance may not be capturing burnout and strategies to reduce burnout should consider targeting emotional intelligence.

Effect of surgeon age on bariatric surgery outcomes.
This study examined the effect of surgeon age on complication rates for bariatric surgery. A retrospective study was done with 71 surgeons in Michigan who participated in a statewide collaborative improvement program. Older surgeons performed more Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass (40%) and less sleeve gastrectomy (38.8%) than younger surgeons. There was not found to be any statistically significant differences in patient outcome between the two age groups.
