Lessons from orthopedic surgeon training system in Britain / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

The tralning system for orthopedic surgeon in Britaln is mature and complete. After completing education in medical college, medical students receive a 2-year base tralning (FY1, FY2), which focus on learning and consolidating basic medical knowledge and clinical skill, followed by a 6-year specialist tralning, which subdivides into tralning of ankle and foot, hand, should and elbow, hip, knee, spine, and pediatric surgery, provided by several district hospital (Peripheral hospitals). Students are required to return to teaching center for review, ward inspection, case discussion at regular inter-vals. Compared with the specialist tralning system based on the hospital staffs in chi-na, the role ofsocial workersin British during the period of tralning makes better mobility of tralnee among medical institutions and medical treatments, which makes the tralning more comprehensive and professional. In addition, there is no consistent system for examination and admittance of specialist, and awareness of specialist tralning among medical institutions and doctors is weak. Therefore, it should be done to form a single tralning system and unify the tralning specification and assessment standard.
