title: One surgeon's philosophy of surgical education.
abstract: The concept of a philosophy of surgical education provides a vehicle for ensuring that there is a united and comprehensive approach to surgical training. This is important because none of the current approaches to higher education provides a suitable model for surgical training and it is dangerous to uncritically adopt every prevailing fashion in education.
