General surgery in Canada is alive and well because general surgeons remain versatile and adaptable. If this were not the case, the specialty of general surgery would go the way of the dinosaur. The continuing evolution of general surgery can only be maintained by reviewing the following: (a) training; (b) continuing education; (c) maintenance of competence; (d) manpower and economic aspects; and (e) interaction of general surgeons with other surgeons and specialties. The Canadian Association of General Surgeons will continue to play a vital role in maintaining liaison between all types of general surgeons across the country and help, in any way possible, to support the ever-changing face of general surgery.
加拿大的普通外科发展态势良好，因为普通外科医生依然具备多面手的能力且适应性强。倘若情况并非如此，普通外科这一专业将会步恐龙的后尘。普通外科的持续发展唯有通过审视以下几个方面才能得以维持：(a)培训；(b)继续教育；(c)能力维持；(d)人力与经济方面；以及(e)普通外科医生与其他外科医生及专科之间的互动。加拿大普通外科医生协会将继续在维系全国各类普通外科医生之间的联络方面发挥至关重要的作用，并尽可能地协助支持普通外科不断变化的面貌。
