[Establishment of Multidimensional Structured Training Curriculum in Surgery]. Zentralbl Chir. 2019 Feb 26;: Authors: Oppermann N, Yang C, Weitz J, Reissfelder C, Mees ST Abstract In Germany, medical education is defined and controlled by the medical association; however hospitals are responsible for its implementation. Surgical trainees do not only need to acquire theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills. For years, young surgeons were trained primarily in the operating theatre. Nowadays, ethical concerns as well as time and budget limitations and legislated restrictions on surgeons' working hours argue for modern training concepts. Therefore, we have developed a training curriculum to ensure a structured surgical education. A standardised surgical education leading to well-trained surgeons can improve the satisfaction of young surgical trainees, increase the safety of patients and optimise clinical efficacy. The acceptance of standardised surgical education and its implementation within the surgeons' working hours is an important task for the future. PMID: 30808050 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
