Dr Sise,

Ray Chung has an interesting editorial 

EVALUATING SURGICAL RESIDENTS THE OLD SCHOOL WAY: clues to how surgical
training works and why. Raphael Chung, MD, MBA, FACS
In current surgery coming out in next few months, it may provoke your
interest and give insight to what we have become.

momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak
are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen
themselves."- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
