Article Synopsis
- European surgeon training for trauma and emergency care lacks standardization, with variations influenced by cultural and organizational differences, especially in mentorship practices.
- A survey conducted by yESTES revealed that 74% of surgeons primarily rely on informal mentorship, with significant gaps for early-career and female surgeons.
- The study highlights the importance of integrating non-technical skills in mentorship while suggesting that surgical societies need to enhance their support for mentorship to improve overall quality and accessibility.
Background: Even now the further training in surgery faces considerable challenges. The planned hospital structural reform will result in new bureaucratic and organizational hurdles, which could lead to a considerable loss of quality in advanced surgical training across all disciplines.
Objective: The aim of this position paper is to describe the current and future challenges for advanced surgical training and to identify possible approaches and opportunities for the further development against the background of the planned hospital structural reform.
The further training to a medical specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery is in a state of continuous development. This is underlined by numerous amendments from previous and coming years, including recently the implementation of the eLogbook, which is presently being implemented nationwide by the individual State Chambers of Physicians; however, in addition to the legally regulated conditions of the further education regulations the focus on the quality of the content of further training should not be neglected. This could be achieved by a structural approach.

Imposed restrictions interrupt the standard educational curricula, and consequently limited residents to meet mandatory requirements.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic on residency training in orthopedics and trauma surgery in Germany.
