I'd be grateful for as many replies as possible to this (email me
with responses)

With MMC about to start taking effect, one of my concerns is how
future paediatric surgeons will enter our profession given the much
reduced experience as HO/SHO level.  This may be an unfounded fear,
but, for exapmple, for ages I wanted to be a brain surgeon until I
did paed surg as part of a rotation and loved it.

So, answers on an email please:


Year of training? 5

When did you form a firm intention to enter paediatric surgery?

         medical school (or before) y
         house jobs
         sho jobs
         spr jobs


When was your first expeeince of paed sugery?

         medical school (or before) y
         house jobs
         sho jobs (bst rotation)
         sho jobs (stand alone)
         spr jobs

         and was this when you decided on paed surgery as a career?

Did you seriously intend to enter any other branch of
medicine/surgery before changing to paed surgery? n

        If so, what?

        When did you change your mind?

        What changed it?

Any other comments about choice of paed surgey as a career or
influences on your choice?



Thanks very much in advance...

Richard
