Course Info

The MSurg is designed for international doctors who wish to expand their surgical training in the UK. Our students will take part in training analogous to the Core Surgical Training offered by the Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST) which forms the first stage of speciality training for most doctors training in surgical specialities. The expectation is that students will take their MRCS to coincide with the award of the MSurg. The MRCS is an internationally recognised qualification that could lead to further surgical training in the e key features of the MSurg are:

  • Student-led – An ePortfolio is used to encourage a learner-centred approach with the support of educational supervisors. The ePortfolio contains tools to identify educational needs, and enables the setting of learning goals, reflective learning and personal development.
  • Competency-based – The curriculum outlines competencies that trainees must reach by the end of the programme. The curriculum is directly linked to the ePortfolio as it defines standards required for good medical practice and formal assessments.
  • Continuation of Good Medical Practice – building on existing training the curriculum contains important emphasis on generic competencies necessary for practice as a surgeon.
  • Supervision – each student has a series of supervisors with clearly defined roles and responsibilities overseeing training including their Clinical Supervisor, Educational Supervisor, University Tutor, Pathways to Postgraduate Training in Surgery Director, and Dean of Postgraduate Medicine.

Teaching & Assessment

  • Regular workplace-based assessments will be conducted throughout training. Students will be assessed on the following units:
  • Basic Sciences
  • Common Surgical Conditions
  • Basic Surgical Skills
  • Assessment and Management of the Surgical Patient
  • Perioperative Care
  • Management of Trauma
  • Surgical Care of the Paediatric Patient
  • Care of the Dying Patient
  • Organ Transplantation
  • Health Promotion
