Main Results:

  • A majority of general surgical trainees and new consultants favor specialist training.
  • The survey revealed variability in the maintenance, development, or abandonment of subspecialist practice.
  • Some higher surgical training programs were found to be not fully realizing the ideal of specialization.

Conclusions:

  • While specialist training is supported, its implementation in higher surgical training programs requires attention.
  • Further evaluation of surgical training programs is needed to ensure effective specialization.
  • The findings highlight a gap between the ideal and practice in surgical subspecialization.
