The Developing a Surgical Career Workshop has been designed for junior and prevocational doctors with an interest in surgery.

This course provides a hands-on experience in surgical techniques and equipment, as well as a range of speakers including our RACSTA representative who will provide valuable insight and information to support your surgical career journey. You will have an opportunity to engage in several surgical skills stations facilitated by Fellows and Trainees. With the capped number of participants, you will have ample opportunity to engage with the Fellows to discuss individual surgical queries. The day will be enhanced by several discussions on wide-ranging topics encompassing the path to becoming a surgeon.

This activity has been approved in the RACS CPD Program. Participating in this activity will qualify for 8 CPD points in Educational Activities.

COVID-19 disruption to College events

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak  indeed created a challenge for us all in both 2020 and 2021 and unfortunately, we were unable to provide our Victorian young doctors with these very popular workshops. We are planning to hold one 'Developing a Surgical Career' workshop this year in 2022, however this workshop will be dependent on the state of Victoria’s restrictions at the time of the event.
