The US military has maintained graduate medical education (GME) programs since the end of World War II as a means to provide specialized medical care for eligible patients in military hospitals [11]. Over the past few years, military hospitals have seen a decline in surgical patients, largely because of changing patient eligibility for care [5, 7, 9]. This has led to a decrease in clinical volume for military GME programs, making it more difficult to maintain programs at military hospitals and resulting in the need for more outside rotations. Given a decreased scope of surgical practice, why should there be military residencies? What is their value? And how can the advantages of an activeduty military residency be preserved?
