Objective: To assess the working conditions and current challenges of the gynecology assistants in Turkey and to propose solutions within this context. Materials and methods: A survey on the problems of assistant doctors and the solution proposals they offered was executed with gynecology assistants who serve at the teaching, research and university hospitals in different regions of Turkey. Results: 60 gynecology assistants from 7 training institutions (university and teaching research hospitals) were included in the study. 75% of the participants (n:45) prefered gynecology as their first choice in the medical specialty exam. 51% of the survey participants(n:31)were satisfied with their existing conditions. The main problem was determined as severe working conditions by 43% of the participants. (n:26) Based on the answers of 42% of the participants(n:25), malpractice was observed as the leading concern following the specialty. Furthermore, setting rules on duty hours and daily leave after duty as well as arranging working hours were the common opinion of assistant doctors with regard to the solution proposals to the working conditions. Additionally, issuing assistant report cards and boosting participation in conferences and scientific research activities were other prevailing opinions of the assistant doctors when it comes to reducing training problems. Discussion: It is striking that under the current circumstances, assistant gynecologists are discontent with strenuous working environment and inadequate training. The common proposed solution is to initiate standardization in all training agencies across Turkey.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of clinical exchange programs in postgraduate obgyn training using the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO)–World Association of Trainees in Obstetrics and Gynecology (WATOG) One World Exchange (OWE), a clinical exchange program held in France in October 2023, as a case‐study.MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional study. A 31‐item structured questionnaire designed with Google Forms was electronically distributed to the 51 obgyn postgraduate trainees (OWE fellows) who participated in the OWE, to collect information about the exchange. Collected data was analyzed using IBM Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) Statistics for Windows.ResultsThe survey response rate was 68.6%. The mean age of the respondents was 33.0 ± 4.0 years. Majority of the them were females (26, 74.3%), married (19, 54.3%), at least in their third year of training (30, 85.7%) and from Africa (11, 31.4%). During the period of the exchange program, fellows observed various obstetric and gynecologic procedures, including open and minimal access procedures, with more than one‐fifth (8, 22.9%) of them reporting that they were allowed to assist in some of these procedures. The fellows noted salient differences in practice between their exchange hospitals and their home countries. An overwhelming majority (30, 85.7%) of the fellows believed the OWE was beneficial and would positively impact their clinical practices back in their home countries.ConclusionClinical exchange programs like the OWE provide valuable benefits in improving the clinical knowledge and skills of postgraduate obgyn trainees.

The objective of EBCOG hospital visiting is to improve and assess the quality of training in teaching hospitals throughout Europe. We present our experience that originates from the recent hospital visiting in our unit. During our department's presentation several training issues were identified. Dealing with these issues will result in improvement of the training provided and convergence of training and health care standards in Europe.
