Résumé
Subspecialty exposure during residency can influence the future pursuit of fellowship training. In this study, we compared the trends in strabismus surgical experience reported by graduating ophthalmology residents in the United States with other categories of ophthalmic surgery. Over the 10-year period (2010-2019), there was a decline in the total number of strabismus procedures performed during residency by ophthalmology residents graduating in a given year (1.4 fewer cases per year; 95% CI, 1.1-1.6 [P < 0.001]). Although several surgical categories experienced a decrease in cases performed in the assistant role, strabismus surgery was the only category with a decrease in cases performed in the surgeon role (0.4 fewer cases per year; 95% CI, 0.3-0.5 [P < 0.001]).
