Prevocational & Skills Education Committee
Overview
The Prevocational & Skills Education Committee (PSEC) was established to oversee a cohesive educational approach to establish clinical skills training as an integral component of the SET training program.
PSEC has direct governance over skills training programs and aims to maintain educational standards and relevance in the delivery of technical and non-technical skills.
Aligned to this, PSEC is the governing committee for the ongoing development of resources and information that supports the JDocs Framework which outlines the skills and behaviours required to assist junior doctors in their development toward a career in surgery.
Each of the following skills training programs is supported by its own committee, responsible for the management of faculty, participants, and ongoing curriculum development. Each program committee is a subcommittee of PSEC.
- ASSET: Australia and New Zealand Surgical Skills Education and Training Committee
- ATLS: Advanced Trauma Life Support Committee
- CCrISP: Care of the Critically Ill Surgical Patient Committee
- CLEAR: Critical Literature Evaluation and Research Committee
- TIPS: Training in Professional Skills Committee
