Hey everyone! Just passing on a message from MedFac about an exciting new initiative aimed at increasing surgical exposure, teaching, and mentorship.

"A Day with a Surgeon" will pair students with consultant surgeons in a specialty of their interest for a day in their private operating theatres and/or rooms. This will provide students a unique opportunity to gain insight into the daily life and work of a surgeon, encounter surgical diseases and operations not typically seen on regular placements in the public hospital, and receive invaluable one-on-one mentorship.

This program is available for Phase 3 students on their Surgery, Selective and Elective terms at POW, St Vincent's, St George and some Rural Clinical Campuses.

For more information please see the linked flyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1idt0aHca5RH6AV_vSoqZtvXVzlNfW70C/view?usp=sharing

To sign up, please email the relevant clinical campus:
