The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between plastic surgery education received through residency in Canadian programs and perceived preparedness for independent clinical practice among recently graduated plastic surgeons.
All practicing plastic surgeons having graduated from a Canadian program between 1996 and 2006 were surveyed. An itemized Web-based questionnaire was designed and distributed by e-mail with the assistance of all program directors.
Eighty (52 percent) of the 155 recent graduates from Canadian plastic surgery programs with valid contact information responded to the survey. The majority of respondents were satisfied with most aspects of their training. Only 22 percent of respondents had done part of their training in a foreign center, but all of them agreed that it was beneficial to their training. Clinical research was encouraged in 92 percent of the respondents' programs, but dedicated time was only allocated in 29 percent of these. At the beginning of their practice, the majority of respondents felt comfortable or very comfortable in all subspecialties with the exception of pediatric plastic surgery and ancillary procedures.
The authors' results describe the tendencies in type and duration of the training that Canadian graduates had over the last 10 years. The majority of respondents were satisfied with most aspects of their residency programs and felt comfortable practicing different subspecialties early in their careers. Expectations during residency and the resources made available to meet these expectations are also revealed. This study will help improve residency programs by identifying existing gaps in the preparedness of surgeons.
本研究旨在评估加拿大项目住院医师培训中接受的整形外科学教育与最近毕业的整形外科医生对独立临床实践的准备程度之间的相关性。
对 1996 年至 2006 年间毕业于加拿大整形外科学项目的所有执业整形外科医生进行了调查。设计了一个逐项的网络问卷，并在所有项目主任的协助下通过电子邮件进行了分发。
80 名（52%）有有效联系方式的最近毕业于加拿大整形外科学项目的受访者回答了调查。大多数受访者对他们培训的大多数方面都感到满意。只有 22%的受访者在国外中心完成了部分培训，但他们都认为这对他们的培训有益。92%的受访者所在项目鼓励开展临床研究，但只有 29%的项目为此分配了专门的时间。在开始执业时，大多数受访者在除儿科整形和辅助手术外的所有亚专业领域都感到舒适或非常舒适。
作者的结果描述了过去 10 年来加拿大毕业生培训的类型和持续时间的趋势。大多数受访者对他们的住院医师项目的大多数方面感到满意，并在职业生涯早期对不同的亚专业领域感到舒适。本研究还揭示了住院医师期间的期望以及为满足这些期望而提供的资源。通过确定外科医生准备情况中现有的差距，这项研究将有助于改进住院医师项目。
