What can we learn from other countries—lessons from the CAJC Happiness Report

AbstractMost countries have their own programs and requirements for surgical residency. To investigate the differences as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the programs and to explore the happiness of the residents in the different countries, the Surgical Working Group of “Young Surgeons” of the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery has designed a questionnaire. It focuses on three parts: structural and legal requirements, operating room (OR)- and non-OR-related content of the program, and contentment of the residents. In this opinion paper, first the results are shared by the description of the programs in nine different countries. It is shown that the requirements to become a surgeon differ highly between the different countries. Nonetheless, a structured curriculum, the possibility of feedback or a surgical mentoring program, and transparency regarding the OR schedule seem to be important to all residents to reach job satisfaction.

Modern standards of registering the medical information involve a creation of registers of patients with various nosologicalentities, which allows to standardize the services provided by the health care system, as well as to increase the efficiency and safety of treatment in actual clinical practice. The Pancreatic Disease Register of the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery, which is a database of patients with pancreatic diseases and their surgeries, has become very popular in the medical field. The register is a multidisciplinary database with its own infrastructure, coordination center and it contains information on surgical diseases and surgical interventions performed on the pancreas. The register is used to collect and analyze information online and integrates clinics of German-speaking countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria), as well as doctors from other countries after receiving the relevant permission. The review analyzes the features of information collection and the creation of own register infrastructure, aspects of the implementation of methodological and organizational support, as well as the nuances of its logistics. The ways of statistical processing and validation of the collected information are listed, the possibility of autonomous functioning of the system and the presence of strict measures to protect the confidentiality of data are emphasized. The register is an optimal set of possibilities for correct, full-fledged introduction and analysis of extensive medical data, which is a prerequisite for conducting the prospective randomized studies in the field of pancreatic surgery.
