Surgical residency programs are facing ongoing challenges since the pandemic. The Young Member (YM) Task Force of the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) has been created to support surgical residents and surgeons under 40, promoting activities that could be useful for young surgeons and to improve networking between members of different countries. This project aimed to explore educational needs among European surgical residents to inform the EAES curriculum for young surgeons.
Within the EAES surgical society, the YM developed a survey to capture residents' views on their professional needs. Different aspects were considered, from demographic information to the major topics of interest on a professional side. Semi-automatic answers and personal suggestions have been gathered and considered for the analysis.
Data were captured from 386 respondents across 57 different countries, major responders were represented by the group of 31-35 years old (40%). Considering professional growth, young surgeons rely on scientific research (56%), but they struggle finding adequate support of facilities. In the education and training section, fellowships and hands-on-courses (27%) were the most proficient activities. Mentorships and webinars were important to develop leadership, as well as social events to build up a professional network.
This project has identified young surgeons' educational and professional needs that can inform the EAES future projects and activities.
自疫情以来，外科住院医师培训项目一直面临着持续的挑战。欧洲内镜外科学会（EAES）成立了青年成员（YM）特别工作组，以支持外科住院医师和40岁以下的外科医生，开展对年轻外科医生可能有用的活动，并改善不同国家成员之间的交流。该项目旨在探索欧洲外科住院医师的教育需求，为EAES针对年轻外科医生的课程提供参考。
在EAES外科学会内部，青年成员开展了一项调查，以了解住院医师对其专业需求的看法。从人口统计学信息到专业方面的主要兴趣主题，考虑了不同的方面。收集了半自动回答和个人建议并纳入分析。
从57个不同国家的386名受访者中收集了数据，主要受访者为31至35岁的群体（40%）。在职业发展方面，年轻外科医生依赖科学研究（56%），但他们在寻找足够的设施支持方面存在困难。在教育和培训方面，奖学金和实践课程（27%）是最有效的活动。导师指导和网络研讨会对于培养领导力很重要，社交活动对于建立专业网络也很重要。
该项目确定了年轻外科医生的教育和专业需求，可为EAES未来的项目和活动提供参考。
