Entrepreneurial skills are important for physicians, especially plastic surgeons. Nevertheless, these skills are not typically emphasized during residency training.
Evaluate the extent of business training at plastic surgery residency programs as well as means of enhancing business training.
A 6-question online survey was sent to plastic surgery program directors for distribution to plastic surgery residents. Responses from residents at the PGY2 level and above were included for analysis. Tables were prepared to present survey results.
Hundred and sixty-six residents including 147 PGY2 and above residents responded to our survey. Only 43.5% reported inclusion of business training in their plastic surgery residency. A majority of residents reported they do not expect on graduation to be prepared for the business aspects of plastic surgery. Additionally, a majority of residents feel establishment of a formal lecture series on the business of plastic surgery would be beneficial.
Results from our survey indicate limited training at plastic surgery programs in necessary business skills. Plastic surgery residency programs should consider incorporating or enhancing elements of business training in their curriculum.

创业技能对医生，尤其是整形外科医生很重要。然而，住院医师培训期间通常并不强调这些技能。
评估整形外科住院医师培训项目中的商业培训程度以及加强商业培训的方法。
向整形外科项目主任发送一份包含6个问题的在线调查问卷，由他们分发给整形外科住院医师。纳入PGY2及以上级别的住院医师的回复进行分析。准备表格展示调查结果。
166名住院医师回复了我们的调查，其中包括147名PGY2及以上级别的住院医师。只有43.5%的人报告在整形外科住院医师培训中包含商业培训。大多数住院医师表示，他们预计毕业时并未为整形外科的商业方面做好准备。此外，大多数住院医师认为开设一系列关于整形外科业务的正式讲座会有帮助。
我们的调查结果表明，整形外科培训项目在必要商业技能方面的培训有限。整形外科住院医师培训项目应考虑在其课程中纳入或加强商业培训内容。
