Brief summary

In Egypt, the evidence for quality processes has not been established yet in the current training programs for surgery residents. There are no published articles discussing career satisfaction among surgical residents. Therefore, we are going to conduct a self-designed survey in Egyptian university hospitals to measure residents' satisfaction and display views about their undergraduate surgical education, surgical education during internship year, post-graduate training program, and extracurricular activity during medical school.
