How trainees publishauthor positions, faculty co-authorship, ranks
Papers by current residents and fellows, and alumni within two years, published during training. Based on 1 of 4 trainees matched to publication records. Trainees with no match count as not yet published, so these figures are a floor.
Not compared with other programs yet. Some resident classes are missing. It's queued for another look.
