title: [Continuing education in a department system (Hannover Medical School)].
abstract: Among 100 surgical trainees (1/89; chief residents: n = 24) 34 finished their program (median age: 34.5 Y) after a mean of 6.3 years. During the program the trainees rotated in at least three different clinics and performed the required number of operations. Since 50% of the trainees are in the first 3 years of training 63.8% of all operations are currently performed by chief residents. This allows only three operations/month/trainee. Until 1988 the concept of qualified surgical training in a department was ensured. Due to an increase in trainees (+36%) the training will be prolonged in the near future.
