Multicenter Study Comparative StudyFive-year follow-up on the work force and finances of United States anesthesiology training programs: 2000 to 2005.
In the middle 1990s, there was a decrease in anesthesiology residency class sizes, which contributed to a nationwide shortage of anesthesiologists, resulting in a competitive market with increased salary demands. In 1999, a nationwide survey of the financial status of United States anesthesiology training programs was conducted. Follow-up surveys have been conducted each year thereafter. We present the results of the sixth survey in this series. ⋯ These results demonstrate the continuing need for institutional support to keep anesthesiology training departments financially stable.
