Abstract:
In the statement of aims of the education for general practice in Denmark competences in orthopaedic as well as in internal general surgery are specified by the Danish Health and Medicines Authority. In the period 2008-2010 there were three different types of employment for the assessment of competences in surgery. We found that doctors in training who had been employed in both orthopaedic and general surgery wards to a greater extent felt confident about their required competences in orthopaedic surgery. A majority of the 27 doctors participating in this survey felt that this kind of employment would be the best way to ensure the achievement of surgical competences.
