How trainees publishauthor positions, faculty co-authorship, ranks
Papers by current residents and fellows, and alumni within two years, published during training. Based on 3 of 5 trainees matched to publication records. Trainees with no match count as not yet published, so these figures are a floor.
Not ranked against other programs yet: trainees were collected without their class years; most faculty couldn't be matched to publication records. It's queued for another look.
