ABSTRACT Military physicians trained in military Graduate Medical Education programs are uniquely prepared to lead in austere and chaotic environments based on formal and informal curricula taught in military treatment facilities. The coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic highlighted this reality when military-trained physician leaders were challenged to lead change directly from the front.

Significant Difference

This is a survey research project to determine the work hours of practicing surgeons and compare those hours with hours that have been mandated for graduate medical education programs by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The survey conducted of the membership of the Southeastern Surgical Congress focused on the amount of time devoted to professional activity. Although several categories of membership were surveyed, those surgeons in full-time practice were used for this report. Five hundred ninety-two general surgeons and some surgical specialties from 17 states reported a total professional work effort of 65 hours per week averaged over a month. Twenty per cent reported working more than 80 hours per week. Statistically significant ( P < 0.05) factors that characterized these individuals included years in practice (1 to 10 years), more clinical hours per week, fewer administrative hours per week, fewer teaching hours per week, fewer continuing medical education (CME) hours per year, and an increase in recent clinical practice. Interestingly, there was no significant difference in CME over a 2- or 5-year period. Other factors such as type of practice did not have statistical significance. There was no difference between states and no difference in time commitment to political or community activities. This survey indicates that surgeons going into practice in the Southeast from general surgery graduate medical education programs can expect to have a mean work week of 65 hours, and 20 per cent can expect to exceed an 80-hour work week.

ABSTRACT The role of physicians in the U.S. Armed Forces is diverse, encompassing a wide array of skills and responsibilities to provide superior healthcare to their patients and to advance military medicine. In addition to healthcare delivery and medical education, military physicians are engaged in public health, operational medicine, and cutting-edge medical research. Thus, clinical research is a crucial component of Graduate Medical Education (GME) and supports critical thinking (knowledge, skills, and abilities) and the development of leadership skills among U.S. military physicians. The Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program (IDCRP) education mission was established in 2005 with the overall goal of supporting the development and training of the next generation of clinical researchers in infectious diseases and related public health disciplines in the Armed Forces using several strategies, including didactic learning, mentored research, and research engagement. Through involvement in the IDCRP, infectious disease fellows, residents (e.g., surgical, internal medicine, and pediatrics), and Master of Public Health (MPH) students have continued their education and gained valuable skills related to clinical research. Trainees either conduct research with IDCRP mentors or participate in IDCRP-led practicum experiences, with research projects ranging from epidemiologic studies to microbiological assessments. Consistent with the needs of the Military Health System (MHS), and in accordance with Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education goals, the IDCRP provides opportunities for medical and graduate students, residents, and infectious disease fellows to conduct mentored research within the MHS, as well as gain important leadership skills in the conduct of clinical research. Overall, IDCRP continues to further infectious disease research through the support and education of the next generation of active-duty infectious disease researchers in the MHS.
