Trainees aren't named, for privacy. A paper is included when one of its authors is a current resident or fellow, or a graduate of the last two years, and it came out during their training.
How fellows publishauthor positions, co-authorship, ranks
Papers by current residents and fellows, and alumni within two years, published during training. Based on 2 of 16 trainees matched to publication records. Trainees with no match count as not yet published, so these figures are a floor.
