About the Academy

To foster excellence in surgical education

The Academy of Surgical Educators (ASE) aims to foster and promote the pursuit of excellence in surgical education. The Academy's focus is on supporting, enhancing and recognising you as surgical educators within the College. This will be facilitated through identifying the changing needs of the faculty and addressing those needs through the professional development activities offered.

The Academy will oversight the curricular development related to generic education needs of surgeon-teachers, trainers, supervisors, assessors, and examiners - across the Boards, Court of Examiners, Professional Development and the Surgical Societies. The Academy will respect the syllabus content of the education in surgery delivered by the Training Boards and Specialist Societies. The Academy will support the education delivery and faculty development for these groups as appropriate.

It will continue to be the driving force behind the Surgical Education Program and Educational Master Class programs at the RACS Annual Scientific Congress (ASC), as well as research in the field of surgical education.
