The degree of satisfaction and level of learning in male and female surgical residents: a nationwide questionnaire survey of graduating residents in Japan
Surgery today(2023)
摘要
Purpose Since 2002, the Japan Surgical Society has established a board certification system for surgeons to be certified for a specialty. Surgery remains a male-dominated field in Japan. This study aimed to clarify if the Japanese surgical residency training system is equally suitable for female and male residents. Methods The Japan Surgical Society conducted the first questionnaire survey regarding the system of surgical training for the residents in 2016. The questionnaire included the degree of satisfaction with 7 aspects of the training system, including the number and variety of cases experienced and duration and quality of instruction, and the learning level for 31 procedures. The degree of satisfaction and level of learning were compared between female and male residents. Results The degree of satisfaction was similar for all items between female and male residents. Female residents chose breast surgery as their subspecialty more frequently than male residents and were more confident in breast surgery procedures than male residents. Conversely, fewer female residents chose gastrointestinal surgery and were less confident in gastrointestinal surgery procedures than male residents. Conclusion Female residents were as satisfied with the current surgical training system as male residents. However, there may be room for improvement in the surgical system, considering that fewer applications for gastrointestinal surgery come from female residents than from males.
