	abstract = {PRECIS: A cross-sectional sample of the US ophthalmology residency graduating class of 2018 revealed that 18.4\% of residents logged \&lt;5 traditional glaucoma surgeries, and 63.4\% logged at least 1 microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). PURPOSE: Describe the state of MIGS in US ophthalmology residency training and propose a glaucoma procedure classification system for residents{\textquoteright} surgical case logs. METHODS: Deidentified case logs from residents graduating in 2018 were requested from US residency program directors. RESULTS: Case logs were received for 152/488 (31\%) residents from 36/115 (31\%) programs. The mean number of traditional glaucoma surgeries per resident was 9.0{\textpm}5.9 (range: 0 to 31). The mean number of MIGS per resident was 5.2{\textpm}8.9 cases (range: 0 to 58). There were 28/152 (18.4\%) residents from 16/36 (44.4\%) programs who logged \&lt;5 traditional glaucoma surgeries as primary surgeon, and 3/152 (2.0\%) residents from 3/36 (8.3\%) programs who logged zero traditional glaucoma surgeries as primary surgeon. There were 98/152 (64.5\%) residents from 32/36 (88.8\%) programs who logged \&lt;5 MIGS as primary surgeon, and 48/152 (31.6\%) residents from 25 of 36 (69.4\%) programs who logged zero MIGS as primary surgeon. There were 104/152 (63.4\%) residents from 33/36 (91.6\%) programs who logged at least 1 MIGS as primary surgeon; there were 3/36 (8.3\%) residency programs where no resident logged any MIGS as primary surgeon. CONCLUSIONS: US ophthalmology residents{\textquoteright} MIGS experience varies widely. Residents can satisfy glaucoma surgery requirements with some MIGS, even in the absence of adequate traditional glaucoma surgeries. We propose a residency case log classification system that better reflects the growing role of MIGS in clinical practice and helps ophthalmic educators more accurately track procedures requiring related skills.},
