“…It should be designed to deliver a graduated progression of learning and assist the trainee to progress systematically from a novice to an expert. 4 The success of the programme depends on the commitment in the learning agreement between the trainee and supervisor which should be made at the beginning of training so that both are aware of the educational goals, processes and standards to be achieved.…”

The healthcare environment is continuing to change and so too is education and training of surgeons. We now live in an age of increased specialisation, of technology, of accountability, of greater patient education and expectation and mass media attention. The traditional apprentice method and emphasis too much on examinations will have to be changed to a more structured system of training with training standards, regular assessment and feed back. There are new skills to be learnt for future surgical practice and new ways to learn them to become competent. We need to make changes in the institutions and departments to create a learning environment and an organisational system to implement the training programme. The current shortage of surgical work force in the institutions and lack of sufficient teachers committed to teaching and training are major issues that need to be addressed. Key words: Competence, Surgery and patient care, Surgery education, Training

Training in technical skills is essential for advanced surgical education. Training is moving more and more from the operating room to surgical training laboratories. A crucial impulse for this development came from Davos, where the first skills course was organized in 1984 after the formation of the Working Group for Gastro-intestinal (GI) Surgery (AGC Davos). Since this first course more than 5,000 residents have successfully completed the GI skills training course in Davos and many of the alumni are themselves teaching surgery today. The level and quality of this course has remained stable for 27 years on a high quality level although teaching has continuously been adjusted to modern techniques. The language of this international workshop is English. The number of applications exceeds the course capacity every year, which is an indication for the need of such training courses and should be principally included into the skills curriculum for surgeons.
