General Surgery Education & Training
The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) is the principal body for the training and education of surgeons in Australia and New Zealand. Accreditation is via the Australian Medical Council and Medical Council of New Zealand to the RACS and standards for education and training are established by the RACS.
The Australian Board in General Surgery (ABiGS) of the RACS has oversight for the conduct of the training programs in General Surgery in Australia, reporting to the Committee of Surgical Education and Training and the Council of the RACS.
GSA collaborates with the RACS to administer the training program in Australia.
Training Programs
The SET and GSET Training Programs in General Surgery are designed to provide Trainees with clinical and operative experience in order to learn special methods of investigation and become competent in techniques related to the discipline. At the conclusion of the training program, it is expected that Trainees will be able to perform as independent practitioners, meeting the requirements of all identified RACS competencies.
