Comparison of Canadian and Swiss Surgical Training Curricula: Moving on Toward Competency-Based Surgical Education

摘要

OBJECTIVE: Quality of surgical training in the era of resident duty-hour restrictions (RDHR) is part of an ongoing debate. Most training elements are provided during surgical service. As exposure to surgical procedures is important but time-consuming, RDHR may affect quality of surgical training. Providing structured training elements may help to compensate for this shortcoming.
