The subjects were 20 experienced residents and/or attending physicians from the current and previous training systems.Results: The collective opinions were classified as positive, negative and neutral opinions with respect to ‘objectives', ‘evaluation' and ‘training program'.Discussion: The findings are expected to provide a basis for revising the current system.
