Abstract

Systems of medical specialists have been established and carried out by many medical societies in Japan. However, the systems are not easily understood by the nation at present, because many medical societies have individual systems and their standards of authorization differ among the societies. As a result, some patients do not know which department of medicine they should visit. Therefore, a third party independent of medical societies, the Japanese Board of Medical Specialists, was established. The Board is going to unify the system and raise the quality of specialists. Proctologists are very important for the medical specialties system, and need to advertise and declare themselves as specialists. Proctologists require advanced skills, so the Board must improve training programs.
