Based on best practices from different countries, the authors recommend a 6-year maximum university/medical education requirement, elimination of nonsurgical training years (mandatory in some countries), single-program surgical training, objective measure of work hours, optimizing weekly hours, improved support for family building, and end-of-training certification options.
