Abstract:
Surgical education and training is evolving as new educational techniques are developed amidst a greater societal requirement and pressure for a greater number of surgeons. The methods of delivering this education and training vary between institutions, but all have the common aim to produce effective well-rounded surgeons who are capable of providing a safe and competent service that is relevant to the society within which they work.
