What measures could be pursued to raise the interest of students and trainees in specializing in general surgery? The aim of this paper is to attempt to answer these questions. &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Material and methods:&lt;\/b&gt; From August 5 to December 30, 2019, an online survey of doctors in training and resident doctors was conducted. The study covered 2,498 people. &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;\/b&gt; The key reason indicated by young doctors of both sexes was the disproportion between the level of remuneration and professional responsibility. Other most commonly reported reasons include: high overtime, physical and mental strain at work, and fear of not being allowed by senior colleagues to perform surgery. &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/b&gt; In view of the aging Polish surgical staff and a decreasing number of young doctors interested in this field of medicine, it is necessary to introduce changes into their mode of education.\n\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0014.4209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,7]],"date-time":"2021-01-07T08:33:05Z","timestamp":1610008385000},"page":"28-31","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Why don\u2019t young doctors want to be surgeons?"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"Piotr","family":"Czopek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Tract Surgery, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daria","family":"Dranka-Bojarowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Tract Surgery, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S\u0142awomir","family":"Mrowiec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Tract Surgery, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"208855r1","unstructured":"Zestawienie liczbowe lekarzy i lekarzy dentyst\u00f3w wg wieku , p\u0142ci i tytu\u0142u zawodowego z uwzgl\u0119 dnieniem podzia\u0142u na lekarzy wykonuj\u0105cych i nie wykonuj\u0105cych zawodu; 2020, Online: https:\/\/nil.org.pl\/uploaded_files\/1583227918_zestawienie-nr-04.pdf"},{"key":"208855r2","unstructured":"Bali\u0144ski P., Krajewski R.: Lekarze i lekarze denty\u015bci w Polsce \u2013 charakterystyka demograficzna.
