Many of you will have received my recent letter to Fellows and Members, however I felt the need to write individually to all RCSI trainees on CST and HST programmes
As we approach the halfway mark for the academic year, I would like to provide an update of the activities of the ISTG committee to date and outline our plans for the year ahead.
As the incoming Director of National Surgical Training Programmes, I will be responsible for the efficient and effective provision and co-ordination of postgraduate surgical training across all surgical specialties.
The Intercollegiate Committee for Basic Surgical Examinations (ICBSE) and the four Surgical Royal Colleges of the United Kingdom and in Ireland can now confirm the MRCS exam schedule for 2022.
Submissions are sought from interested candidates who wish to undertake a Doctorate of Medicine (MD) Degree through the Strategic Academic Recruitment (StAR) Programme.
Surgical Training can be expensive time in your career with the need to complete exams and undertake courses. It is important that all trainees are aware of the financial supports that are available to them.
