At present, the state of the staff of surgeons, the quality of their training and skill levels is of great importance. Crisis and stagnation have also affected medical education at all levels of education. At the same time, against the background of a decrease in the influx of young specialists to the service, there is an increase in the average age of Russian surgeons. The reason for the described phenomena lies in the low prestige of the surgical specialty associated with low wages for doctors, which does not correspond to their physical and moral stress. The system of University and continuing medical education is far from perfect, which leads to a decrease in the quality of specialist training, and a setback in the introduction of new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in patients with surgical diseases. The publication of this article is an invitation to all interested parties to a discussion dedicated to finding solutions to training in surgery.
