description Most countries have their own programs and requirements for surgical residency. To investigate the differences as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the programs and to explore the happiness of the residents in the different countries, the Surgical Working Group of “Young Surgeons” of the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery has designed a questionnaire. It focuses on three parts: structural and legal requirements, operating room (OR)- and non-OR-related content of the program, and contentment of the residents. In this opinion paper, first the results are shared by the description of the programs in nine different countries. It is shown that the requirements to become a surgeon differ highly between the different countries. Nonetheless, a structured curriculum, the possibility of feedback or a surgical mentoring program, and transparency regarding the OR schedule seem to be important to all residents to reach job satisfaction.
