PFET Program in Trauma Surgery
Introduction
The GSA Trauma Training Committee is responsible for the delivery of the PFET Program in Trauma Surgery in Australia, the accreditation of hospital posts, and the supervision and assessment of Post Fellowship Trainees.
The GSA Trauma Training Committee works in collaboration with the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Surgery of Trauma (ANZAST) and its Executive.
The PFET Program in Trauma Surgery is governed by GSA’s policies and procedures of Post Fellowship Education and Training.
Trauma is and will be carried out by General Surgeons across Australia. It is hoped that this defined program will facilitate the training of sub-specialised trauma surgeons.
