Attitudes of young surgeons regarding professional organizations are unclear. We surveyed young surgeons to assess their opinions regarding the role of The American College of Surgeons in the future of surgery.
A 21-question on-line survey was distributed to all young (age <45 years) ACS members. Questions were related to demographics, membership, educational, and health policy initiatives.
Among 2689 respondents, reimbursement and malpractice were the most important issues to surgeons at all levels of training. Organizational attributes of importance to young surgeons included leadership, educational tools, mentorship, and avenues to participate in organized medicine. They value programs to address patient safety, surgical quality, reimbursement, and health policy.
Methods to recruit and retain young surgeons into medical organizations should include educational efforts, mentorship programs, practice-management courses, health policy reform, and opportunities for involvement in organizational activities.
年轻外科医生对专业组织的态度尚不清楚。我们对年轻外科医生进行了调查,以评估他们对美国外科医师学会在未来外科领域所起作用的看法。
向所有年轻(年龄<45岁)的美国外科医师学会会员发放了一份包含21个问题的在线调查问卷。问题涉及人口统计学、会员资格、教育及卫生政策倡议。
在2689名受访者中,报销和医疗事故是各级培训外科医生最为关注的问题。对年轻外科医生而言重要的组织属性包括领导力、教育工具、指导及参与有组织医疗活动的途径。他们重视旨在解决患者安全、手术质量、报销及卫生政策等问题的项目。
招募并留住年轻外科医生加入医疗组织的方法应包括教育活动、指导项目、实践管理课程、卫生政策改革以及参与组织活动的机会。
