Jobs market: Expected shortage of surgeons in the nearest future as about 60 percent over 55 years
Monday, 17 June 2013
More than half of Swedish surgeons will soon be retiring and the
shortage is expected to be large. This same problem is being faced by
many countries as well as healthcare planner meet in Gothenburg, Sweden
to discuss.
At the international surgery congress currently taking place in
Gothenburg, Sweden where the world’s leading surgeons meet to discuss
their problem and achievements, standing are their problems.
Margareta Berg, from Project Surgicon told Swedish television that in
our time more used to more work many more hours and had time to get
off, but today it has to be done in a more regulated working hour’s
systems so that surgeons have less time to assimilate practical
training.
Added to this problems is that surgeons are getting old. As they
deliberate in the international congress in Gothenburg, where the
world’s leading surgeons meet to discuss how the surgical skills could
be best taken forward, it is being generally agreed that something must
be done, and fast.
One reason for this urgency is that 60 per cent of Swedish surgeons are over 55.
“Everyone else and I could end up on the operating table tomorrow and
we all depend on to meet a very skilled surgeon who can take care of
us. So it has a significant impact on health care in the future,” she
says.
Time and production requirements are two things that younger doctors believe contribute to the practical training deficiencies.
