The GSET Program ◆
Overview
In 2022, the ABiGS implemented the revised General Surgery Education and Training (GSET) program.
The overall objective of the GSET Training program is to ensure that the graduating General Surgery Trainee has the competencies and skills required to undertake core General Surgery procedures, be able to participate independently in an acute on call General Surgical roster, and be competent across the RACS Core Competencies.
GSET is a five (5) year training program structured into two stages – CORE and PRINCIPAL:
CORE
GSET Levels 1 – 3: Focuses on the foundation skills relating to General Surgery
PRINCIPAL
GSET Levels 4 – 5: Trainees’ involvement and clinical complexity increases
GSET Program Development
The General Surgery training program has transformed and evolved over the past few years so as to continue to be aligned to regulatory requirements, changes in workforce, and educational developments.
