About the course

This course is designed to provide and prepare surgeons for advanced posts and practice. It is modular with six one-week teaching blocks.

It will marry theory with practical skills in a variety of subjects to produce a thorough learning experience. The professional modules encompass the three crucial areas of research, leadership and education to equip the surgical leaders of tomorrow with the knowledge and skills necessary for their jobs.
