Academic surgery requires competence in research, teaching, and patient care. Because of the increasing complexity of both surgical research and clinical surgery, and additional skills necessary for adequate patient care, including economics, management, and organization, it becomes more and more difficult to provide an attractive education for surgeon-scientists. This has resulted in a dramatic decline in the number of surgeon-scientists in the past and alarms us to systematically restructure our research training system.
We herein introduce a program involving the clinical departments of surgery, trauma surgery, and cardiac-thoracic surgery as well as a surgical research institution. The program allows the clinical departments to sharpen their overall research profile and facilitates the establishment of competent working groups, guaranteeing long-term research activities on a high scientific level. The program involves both surgical residents and medical students, who will represent our future generation of academic surgeons, ensuring the survival of the surgeon-scientist.
学术外科需要在研究、教学和患者护理方面具备能力。由于外科研究和临床外科的复杂性不断增加，以及为了提供充分的患者护理而需要额外的技能，包括经济学、管理和组织，为外科医生科学家提供有吸引力的教育变得越来越困难。这导致过去外科医生科学家的数量急剧下降，促使我们系统地重组我们的研究培训系统。
我们在此引入一个涉及外科、创伤外科和心胸外科临床科室以及一个外科研究机构的计划。该计划允许临床科室提高整体研究水平，并有助于建立有能力的工作组，保证长期的高科学水平的研究活动。该计划涉及外科住院医师和医学生，他们将代表我们未来的学术外科医生一代，确保外科医生科学家的生存。
