Trauma surgical educational opportunities in Canada: a week in the life of a trauma service

Penetrating mechanism and TTAs with a trauma surgeon present appear to increase opportunities to perform procedures. Our results can inform general surgery training programs to optimize resident trauma training in Canada.
