[Education, postgraduate and continuing education in surgery--data for quality control]

Abstract

Despite intensive educational training during medical school, there is hardly any occupational group like physicians that tries to keep further education on a very high level. However, under the aspect of quality control, there is a need for different certificates. The education itself needs quality control; the laying down of rules as a rational basis is to advance, but facts that deal with quality control are not easy to find. The analysis of the committee of education of the Ruhr University Bochum must be considered as ideal; the results have to be transferred. Objective medical care results and patient satisfaction are influenced by many factors.
