    Abstract:
    Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare alleviated the rule of advertisement of medical specialists. The new rule included several contents: The scientific society must be a corporation and have a minimally 5 years training system. The Ministry also established a new postgraduate training system which will start in April, 2004. These announcements made a great impact on the Japanese medical board certification system. The Japan Surgical Society negotiated with other 4 surgical subspecialties: cardiovascular, respiratory, gastroenterological and pediatric surgery, and established a new postgraduate surgical training program. The first step of the program is in common with that of other subspecialties. After application for admission to the Japan Surgical Society, registration of surgical case experiences has been able to be made through the home page of the Society.
