What's surgery like?
Careers afternoons
The College runs surgical careers afternoons for medical students at the College in London twice a year. These sessions are free to attend and all participants are provided with a certificate of attendance for their portfolios.
The afternoon is split into 2 main sections – the plenary session covers:
- An overview of the training structure
- Life as a Core and Specialty trainee and
- ‘A Career in…’ a talk about a specific specialty or branch of surgery
This is followed by a series of interactive and practical sessions including
- Basic surgical skills such as suturing and knot tying
- Minimal access workstations in the Wellcome Pathology Museum
- Interactive careers workshops including details on the application process and CV/ Portfolio building
- Scrubbing up and gowning
There is also an opportunity to take a tour of the College's Hunterian Museum.
