With the establishment of undergraduate medical education and the progress of health care in the country heralded by the return of well trained and dedicated physicians and surgeons, it was only natural that the attention will be focused on establishing graduate training for the different medical specialties in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This paper addresses the current status of general surgery training in the country and compares our model with the experience of others from the perspective of a program director. It is not the exception, but it is the rule to have challenges at this stage of development. The problems are multifactorial and need to be addressed by all those concerned with an open mind. I pretend no special farsightedness and my authority rests only on genuine concern about the issues and experience from being both a surgeon and a program director. The aim is of course to produce a future generation of well trained surgeons able to meet the challenge and take the lead in the medical care of this country. Once sound general surgery training is in place, training in specialty surgery such as thoracic and cardiac to name a few will follow suit.
随着本科医学教育的建立以及国内医疗保健的进步，这得益于训练有素且敬业的内科医生和外科医生的回归，自然而然地，人们的注意力将集中在为沙特阿拉伯王国不同医学专业建立研究生培训上。本文从项目主任的角度探讨了该国普通外科培训的现状，并将我们的模式与其他国家的经验进行了比较。在这个发展阶段面临挑战并非个例，而是普遍规律。问题是多方面的，需要所有相关人员以开放的心态加以解决。我并非自认为有什么特别的远见卓识，我的权威仅源于对这些问题的真切关注以及作为外科医生和项目主任的经验。目标当然是培养出一代训练有素的外科医生，他们能够应对挑战并引领该国的医疗保健事业。一旦完善的普通外科培训到位，诸如胸外科和心脏外科等专科手术的培训也将随之开展。
