The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons developed a new competency-based surgical education and training program. This program integrates essential surgeon competencies and streamlines the training pathway for improved outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Competency-Based Education

Background:

  • Surgical education is complex, involving multiple stakeholders and learning methods.
  • Evolving demands necessitate sophisticated training programs for future surgeons.
  • The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons identified key factors influencing surgical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the new Surgical Education and Training (SET) program by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
  • To outline the key features of the competency-based and streamlined training structure.
  • To highlight the integration of essential surgeon competencies into the curriculum and assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new competency-based curriculum and assessment process.

  • Recognition of nine essential surgeon roles and their underpinning competencies.
  • Integration of generic and specialty-aligned basic science components.

    • Main Results:

    • The new program is competency-based and shorter than previous iterations.
    • A single selection episode directly into the candidate's chosen specialty is implemented.
    • Training progresses in an integrated manner, contingent on meeting clinical and educational requirements.

    Conclusions:

    • The new SET program represents an evolution, retaining satisfactory elements of the previous system.
    • Implementation will present challenges, particularly during the transition.
    • Cooperation and partnerships are crucial for achieving better outcomes for trainees, trainers, and patients.
