title: [Demography and training of residents in gynaecology and obstetrics: results of a national survey].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To survey French trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology on the general demographic evolution and the quality of training.
  
  
  METHODS
  A questionnaire was sent to the 919 trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology during the academic year 2010-2011.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Answer rate was 38.5%. Almost all trainees (99.4%) wish to have a two-year hospital position before applying for consultant or beginning a private practice; 60.4% of these trainees declare this option realistic. Trainees demography is marked by an increasing number of young doctors to train and a feminization.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The need of a debate is crucial to assure quality of training after the recent increase in the number of residents and trainees reforms.
