Objective: To survey French trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology on the general demographic evolution and the quality of training. Material and methods: A questionnaire was sent to the 919 trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology during the academic year 2010-2011. Results: Answer rate was 38.5%. Almost all trainees (99.4%) wish to have a two-year hospital position before applying for consultant or beginning a private practice; 60.4% of these trainees declare this option realistic. Trainees demography is marked by an increasing number of young doctors to train and a feminization. Discussion and conclusion: The need of a debate is crucial to assure quality of training after the recent increase in the number of residents and trainees reforms. © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS.
