[Training possibilities for surgical interns].

Two questionnaires were prepared and adressed to interns in all surgery clinics in Switzerland. They trend to determine opinions on the actual formation in surgery. The results appears that, if a good formation may be obtained, the "postgraduate" has to be considered nowadays as the forgotten child in the hospitals. Important effort must be envisaged, to ameliorate the structuration of the post-graduate teaching, between and in the hospitals, but also to determine ways to inspect his quality.
