In this edition of the MDedge Postcall Podcast, Heather Yeo, MD, MHS (http://bit.ly/2qbGW5B), discusses how and why surgical residents are leaving their residency in favor of other specialties.

When Dr. Yeo was a resident, one of her co-residents left surgery. Dr. Yeo says that this resident was highly talented technically and on-point clinically. After this resident left, Dr. Yeo began investigating this and looking into what can be done to keep surgical trainees in surgery.
