- Abstract: It is the most important for young cardiovascular surgeon that ensure the number of cases to obtain and renew the specialties qualifications. Regional disparities such as concentration of facilities in urban areas and shortage of physicians in rural areas, may be affecting the lack of cases. I compared the population of each medical region with the number of cardiac surgery training facilities to examine regional disparities in cardiovascular surgery. As one way to solve the regional disparity problem, I make a suggestion to decentralize young doctors from urban areas to rural areas.
