Where are the Dark Years?? Medical Student PGY1 PGY2 Vocational (registrar) training Vocation (Consultant)
Surgical Skills Training Network - NSW • 6 Networks across NSW • Metropolitan and rural hospitals within each Network • Rotations available in General Surgery and Surgical Sub-specialities • Differing levels of responsibility: • SRMO • Registrar • Coordinated and delivered through a partnership between NSW CETI and the surgical networks.
Clinical Surgical Training Council - Trainee Subcommitee • NSW CSTC – Division of CETI • Clinicians and Administration • Co-ordination and implementation of prevocational surgical education and training within NSW • Trainee Subcommittee – JMO voice • Specific requirements for prevocational surgical trainees • Concerns and opinions regarding prevocational training voiced directly to the NSW CSTC • PGY 1, 2, 3 +
Prevocational surgical training - Survey • Aims to assess: • Seniority and type of roles • Education and training opportunities • Most valuable aspects of training • Relevance of current training • Success
Demographics • PGY1 – 5 • PGY2 – 5 • SRMO – 17 • Unaccredited Trainees – 6 • SET 1 & 2 – 4 Total Responses - 37 • HNE – 14 • Sydney South West – 7 • Northern – 6 • Sydney West – 1 • East/Great Southern – 7 • Southern – 2
Education and Training Opportunities • Who co-ordinated teaching? • Have you attended Network teaching? • Access to local clinical skills training facilities? • Who do you feel is responsible for your training?
Relevance/Satisfaction of current training “the way the current interviews are structured, actual registrar experience or surgical prowess is of no benefit”
Most valued aspects of surgical training? • Comments: • “I felt I learnt more with increased responsibility than anything else” • “well supervised and supported senior roles” • “mentorship” • “supervised operating”
Discussion • Surgical skills education is important and is valued by all levels of prevocational trainees • Increased seniority • Increased capacity • Where to from here…..
