🚨 STATE OF SURGICAL TRAINING REPORT - NOW LIVE 🚨
ASiT and the SSTOs are proud to launch a landmark report shining a spotlight on the most urgent issues facing surgical trainees and medical students today.
The message is clear. The challenges are real. And the need for change is now.
🔥 Key themes
• Access to training
• Quality of training
• Valuing our educators and trainers
Using the recommendations of the Medical Training Review Diagnostic Report as a framework, we set out targeted, actionable solutions to drive meaningful improvement across surgical training.
This is just the beginning.
💪 Stay tuned to our socials to see how ASiT is championing and delivering positive change for every surgical trainee and medical student.
