Multispecialty Collaboration: Learning from Our Past to Shape Our Future

Happily, the quality of applicants to our field continues to improve, which results in increasing competition between programs to attract the best candidates. The PGY-1 year could also become a recruiting tool, with programs vying to create the most attractive year, rather than focusing on maximizing education and preparation. As a specialty, we should resist these temptations and keep the residents’ training first in mind.

Our specialty is based on a very solid foundation, and with all of the potential opportunities for enhancements and collaborations, our future should be even brighter.
