title: [How to make our graduate/postgraduate training in thoracic surgery further attractive].
abstract: Graduate and postgraduate education in the specialty of cardiovascular and general thoracic surgery may become more attractive by turning by itself to focus on producing competitive specialists and by having mature specialty boards to aim at. For this to accomplish consensus must be formed among hospital surgeons who are now united through specialty associations. In our country specialists may reasonably be less than 1000 in number in each thoracic specialty to call for specialist doctor's fee.
