Medical Students' Surgical Workshops

Three workshops are conducted each year. By inviting final year medical students into the skills laboratory, the aim is to promote surgery as a career and to demistify the RACS for Victorian students.

We are grateful for the ongoing support of our industry partners.

Overview

The Medical Students Surgical Skills workshops are free workshops offered to Victorian final-year medical students to provide an interactive hands-on learning experience with surgical techniques and equipment. The workshops are designed as four surgical specialty stations that are hosted by a specialist Fellow and trainee, and are rotated through in small groups.

Similar to previous years, we had more than 300 students apply for our 2022 workshops, with FLS, Plastic, Urology and Orthopaedic surgery featuring across the three workshops. This year, due to popular demand we have added two more workshops, with one available in Geelong.
