[HSF] New type of CT surgery residency?

[00 00]

Supposedly in the near future there will be 6-year combined CT surgery 
residencies (3 years of General Surgery followed by 3 years of CT surgery).

Some say the quality of the surgeons produced under this new training 
paradigm will not be as competent as with the current model (5 years General 
Surgery + 2-3 years CT surgery).  However others point to the fact that 
Canada has been using the 6 year training model straight out of med school 
for some time now.

What are you opinions about the impact a shortened training will have?
