Canadian general surgery: alive and well.

General surgery in Canada is alive and well because general surgeons remain versatile and adaptable. If this were not the case, the specialty of general surgery would go the way of the dinosaur. The continuing evolution of general surgery can only be maintained by reviewing the following: (a) training; (b) continuing education; (c) maintenance of competence; (d) manpower and economic aspects; and (e) interaction of general surgeons with other surgeons and specialties. The Canadian Association of General Surgeons will continue to play a vital role in maintaining liaison between all types of general surgeons across the country and help, in any way possible, to support the ever-changing face of general surgery.
