Doctor and Continuing Training in 2016: The Challenges of Progress - Abstract
t is of common sense to say that entering medical studies is a taking a long and hard path. Depending on the countries, one can expect around ten years of study at least, to become a full doctor [1]. And providing you arrive at this point where you have passed the numerous exams standing in your way, medicine is not a dead science but a living art for which each passing year means the addition of new knowledge for almost every specialty it is composed of. Each discovery in the fields of science is followed by updates in the related medical fields; for example, the ridiculous progresses in nuclear physics associated to the improvement of computers have lead to revolutions in medical imagery, radiation-oncology and nuclear medicine allowing a treatments and images of a higher precision and resolution to the millimeter [2]. Surgeons now operate in smaller surgical sites with minimally invasive procedures [3].
