Symposium on surgical manpower in the smaller community. The Canadian Association of General Surgeons and the community surgeon.
The relationship between the Canadian Association of General Surgeons and the community surgeon is a symbiotic one. Despite the controversy about medical costs and the oversupply of physicians, there is and will continue to be an increased need for general surgeons in Canada. Highly trained general surgeons are needed in medium-sized and smaller communities where the bulk of general surgery is done. The Canadian Association of General Surgeons sponsors research in education that will affect surgical knowledge and the training and future of community surgeons.
