Medical Student Award - Annual Essay Competition 2022

Congratulations to Matthew Fadhil, who has been awarded best essay in the 2021 essay competition  "What is the role of medical schools and universities in practical surgical education ina social media and online world? (PDF 165.94KB)"

Entries for the 2022 New South Wales State Committee Annual Essay Competition are now open.

Building upon RACS' vision of Leading surgical performance, professionalism and improving patient care, this year's essay topic "Wellness in the Day of a Life of a Surgeon" asks medical students to explore the way in which surgeons can create a better culture within the workplace and within the communities across Australia and New Zealand.

The Competition is open to final year medical students in NSW. The winner will be awarded a RACS NSW State Committee Medical Student Medal and a certificate, with the winner's essay published on the RACS NSW page.

 

RACS NSW State Committee endeavours to promote a career in surgery among medical students by calling for them to think about surgery in a positive light.

Entries close on Friday, 26 August 2022.

For more information about the competition, please see our flyer (PDF 79.89KB).

Service to the Community Award

The Service to the Community Award has been designed to recognise Fellows who have given long and dedicated service to their local community, without which the standard of surgical care in that community would have been less than society needs.

The NSW State Committee recognises a small number of Fellows throughout the year with this award and other awards that seek to acknowledge the hard work and commitment that our Fellows demonstrate. Previous Award recipients have made a significant impact on not only their patients but their hospitals, their communities and our College.

The criteria for these awards are understandably high and nominations should highlight the incredible benefit nominees bring to our college as a whole.

If you know of a Fellow who is deserving of this award please email the RACS NSW office.
