Preparation for Practice

This program is a great opportunity to learn about all the essentials for setting up private practice. The focus is on practicality and experiences provided by fellow surgeons and consultant speakers. Participants will also have the chance to speak to Fellows who have experience in starting up private practice and get tips and advice.
