Figure 7. Distribution of surgeons participating in the peer-review process during FY 1998–2000 (data reflect all review cycles – fall, winter, and spring; n = 36 for 1998, n=39 for 1999, and n = 54 for 2000). Forty-nine percent of all surgeons were concentrated in one of two dedicated surgery study sections (Surgery, Anesthesia and Trauma [SAT], or Surgery and Bioengineering [SB]).
