There are wide variations of surgical common trunk training programmes among European countries. Variations are also found in entry criteria to training programmes, in training evaluation methods and final certification, and also in accreditation of training institutions. Finally manpower control should be applied to secure production of an adequate number of competent surgeons and consequently high quality of health care.
