abstract: Recently the shortage of surgeon is one of the serious problem in our country. And the chance to introduce young doctors the surgical world is decreasing because of new educational system for intern doctors has started. We plan the surgical skill improvement seminar for the intern doctors from various hospitals to introduce the surgical world widely with senior doctors from multicenter. The aim of this seminar is also to decrease the burden for the education of each institutions and to decrease the stress of the senior doctors for education. Moreover, this kind of seminar is quite useful from regional cooperation point of view, because gathering and doing the cooperation in the seminar makes the senior doctors become the familiar faces. The seminar was held twice since 2010. According to the questionnaire for both trainer and trainee, almost all trainee answered that this seminar is quite useful for the skill up of residents. And senior doctors answered that this seminar might contribute to the resolution of shortage of surgeons and to progress of the regional cooperation. This kind of seminar with senior doctors from multicenter may play an important role to improvement of shortage of surgeon and regional cooperation of each hospitals.
