Input: Question: Does resident experience increase diagnostic rate of thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsies?
Answer: ND thyroid FNA rates progressively decrease with training level, suggesting that early and continued participation in procedures throughout residency improves outcomes. This is particularly true for residents without prior surgical training or subsequent interventional radiology fellowship.
Output:
yes
