Surgery is becoming a numbers game. As RVUs dominate priorities, academic surgeons report less time for teaching, research, and mentorship—jeopardizing the next generation. journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…

Nearly 3 in 4 academic surgeons believe corporatization is harming the mission of surgery. Education and research are sidelined, and burnout is rising. The tripartite model is at risk. journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…
