title: Research by academic surgeons.
abstract: Academic surgeons are required to fulfill three basic, interconnected responsibilities: patient care, teaching, and research. Increased demands for patient care and its revenue have severely curtailed the time available to pursue research projects. In order for trainees and junior faculty to discover the fulfillment research can provide, their time must be protected to allow them to find good mentors, projects, and funding essential for success in academic surgery.
