Who actually matches here — current residents, where they trained, and the research they've published.
The revealed bar — what this cohort actually looked like when it was selected, from the roster itself.
Publications dated before each trainee's start year (median, with interquartile range). Attribution is conservative — treat these as floors, not ceilings.
34 of 135 current trainees with a known start year have published since starting. Cohorts are mid-training and attribution is conservative — this is a floor on the program's research environment, not a verdict.
