title: Surgical training for the next millennium.
abstract: The Calman reforms in training have meant that surgical training now consists of a 2-year basic training period followed by a 6-year period of higher surgical training. This article addresses the problems faced by the new Calman surgical trainees and proposes some new measures which could be introduced for surgical training in the next millennium.
