Abstract
The Japanese Board of Cardiovascular Surgery(JBCVS) was established in 2002 by 3 surgical societies. The JBCVS was designed to function as a committee independent from these 3 surgical societies. Even though we revised and updated the several requirements for residents and renewal in board holders, the number of specialists increased and reaches 1,900 recently. In May 2014, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced plans to renew the Japanese Medical Specialty Board system. The new system aims to qualify doctors not by their own academic societies but by an independent committee [the Japanese Medical Specialty Board (JMSB) established in April 2014] and to monitor and ensure continuous lifetime education in order to provide high-quality and appropriate medical care to the people of Japan and to increase the public’s trust in their medical providers. Under the JMSB, a new training system for cardiovascular surgeons will start in few years. The JBCVS is now preparing standard guidelines for its training programs and will submit them to the JMSB for evaluation. We would like to build up an efficient and better training environment while eliminating the problems in the present system prior to the establishment of a new board qualification system. Therefore, we decided to start several changes and new trials in present requirements for specialists from 2017.
