Abstract
Surgery has had a long history and rich heritage in its practice and training. From a craft based vocation some 500 years ago, it has evolved into a noble profession based on science. The remarkable scientific and technological advances during the last century have made surgery safer and the quality of life better for the patient. However, the cost and quality of health care delivery and public expectation are major issues to deal with. The changing face of surgery needs a more structured training program and major commitment of trainees and surgeons. The challenge for the future surgeon and trainee is to constantly learn new skills and competencies including new professionalism to deliver high-quality care.
