No specialty alone: The Wilder Penfield strategy [Aucune spécialité n'est une ?le: La stratégie de Wilder Penfield]

摘要

CJS has posted to its website (www.canjsurg.ca) a "work-in-progress" commentary as part of the CJS consensus protocol.2 The authors' goal is to develop a statement regarding gastrointestinal endoscopy training for general surgery residents.3 The setting for their review is a growing discord between the specialties of gastroenterology and general surgery over endoscopy. In parts of Canada, one specialty has refused to teach trainees of the other. In other jurisdictions, qualifications required to participate in provincially sponsored screening programs Jiave been written to favour one specialty over the other. These events may be aberrations as the historical partnership between these specialties continues to be driven by the demands of patient care.
