The importance and benefits of defining full-time equivalence in the field of acute care surgery.
The importance and benefits of defining full-time equivalence in the field of acute care surgery. Trauma surgery & acute care open Smith, R. N., Freedberg, M., Bailey, J., DeMoya, M., Goldberg, A., Staudenmayer, K. 2024; 9 (1): e001307Abstract
Acute care surgery (ACS) encompasses five major pillars - trauma, surgical critical care, emergency general surgery, elective general surgery and surgical rescue. The specialty continues to evolve and due to high-acuity, high-volume and around-the-clock care, the workload can be significant leading to workforce challenges such as rightsizing of staff, work-life imbalance, surgeon burnout and more. To address these challenges and ensure a stable workforce, ACS as a specialty must be deliberate and thoughtful about how it manages workload and workforce going forward. In this article, we address the importance, benefits and challenges of defining full-time equivalence for ACS as a method to establish a stable ACS workforce for the future.
