Preparing for the General Surgical Science Examination (GSSE), and picking the right course can be a daunting task for surgical trainees. Fortunately, the GSSE Education Program at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne (SVHM) offers structured support to help junior doctors strengthen their understanding of key topics related to the SVHM curriculum.
Course Overview
This program is designed to assist surgical trainees preparing for the GSSE and future surgical training exams. It covers essential disciplines online over two days in one intensive weekend, providing a solid foundation in:
✔ Physiology
✔ Pathology
✔ Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Statistics
Each session runs Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM online.
Why This Course Stands Out
🔹 Structured Learning – The well-organized schedule ensures comprehensive coverage of high-yield topics.
🔹 Interactive Sessions – The online format allows accessibility to students throughout Australia and New Zealand, without the need to travel or take time off placements.
🔹 High-Quality Study Materials – Participants receive an electronic course manual containing relevant lecture materials.
🔹 Track record – The SVHM Pre-SET Surgical Society have an established track record of educational events (the GSSE course, the registrar ready programme, surgical lecture series and a social calendar)
