据统计目前我国开展心脏手术的医疗机构已近700家,但临床经验丰富、能独立完成手术的医师仅占心血管外科专科医师中的20%左右,需要接受培训、35岁以下的医师占41.2%。预测未来十年我国需接受心脏手术的患者每年将以10%～20%速度增长,因此如何尽快高质量培训合格的青年心脏外科医师,已是十分紧迫的任务。为此,特选登《如何成长为一名全面的心脏外科医生》一文,作者结合个人的经验和体会,提出“全面的心脏外科医师”的含义、培养目标及培训方法。希望以此引起心脏外科医师同行们的关注、思考和讨论,以更加完善我国心脏外科专科医师的培训制度和体系。 According to statistics, there are nearly 700 medical institutions in China that carry out heart surgery.
