| description | Background:. It is well established in the literature that the satisfaction of trainees correlates with higher productivity and efficiency during training years. The satisfaction rate of Saudi Board of Plastic Surgery trainees has not been investigated since its establishment in 2001. Therefore, we aimed to measure the satisfaction rate of local trainees and detail the predictors of satisfaction.
Methods:. This study was conducted on September 9–13, 2021. The study is a cross-sectional, nation-wide study utilizing a self-structured questionnaire targeting all plastic surgery residents in Saudi Arabia. IRB approval and approval from the governing body of residency programs in Saudi Arabia were obtained.
Results:. The study included 100% of western region residents (N = 9) and 72.7% of central region residents (N = 24), yielding a total of 33 participants with 78.6% response rate. Of all the residents, only 39.4% were satisfied with their training in the Saudi Board of Plastic Surgery program, 45.5% were neutral regarding their opinion, and 15.2% expressed their dissatisfaction with the program. The area most in need of improvement was mentorship (30.3%), followed by the quality of teaching (12.1%) and workplace climate (12.1%), whereas the least was administrative components (6.1%).
Conclusions:. The mild level of dissatisfaction toward the local training in plastic surgery should alarm the governing body in the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties and the program directors to take certain interventions toward the improvement of local training. Considering the areas most in need of improvement is necessary to achieve a suitable training environment for the residents. |
