Mr James Lee is offering his highly successful introductory course: Surgical Research Essentials (SuRE) for the third year running. Register your interest now.

Why do this course?

A good understanding of surgical research is essential for a surgeon. Good quality research and the ability to apply it clinically is the cornerstone in evidence based practice. In training the surgeons of the future, compulsory research requirements have now been incorporated into every surgical training program. Not only that, research experience and output has become one of the differentiators in many job and training position applications.

Even if being an active researcher does not become part of your surgical career, a sound working knowledge of the ins and outs of research is essential. There is no better way to understand evidence based surgery than to be involved in a few research projects.

An Introduction to Surgical Research - Short Course

by Mr James Lee

There is no doubt that surgical research is an integral part of surgical training. Over the last 12 weeks, a group of aspiring surgeons have completed “An Introduction to Surgical Research” short course. They come from diverse backgrounds – ranging from 3rd year medical students to surgical registrars – with some commuting from Newcastle, NSW for each of the 3 weekends. But they had one thing in common – an insatiable appetite for knowledge.
