Welcome Message
We wish to welcome all Surgical Trainees together with all members of the Division of Surgery to the General Surgery Education Program for the year 2014. This program is aimed at providing a comprehensive series of tutorials, seminars and journal club sessions to Surgical Trainees at all levels. It also provides participation to all members of the Division of Surgery through the Surgical Forums and the Annual Surgical Unit Audits. The strength of the program and its success has been predominantly due to the commitment and dedication by the members of the Division of Surgery who have volunteered their valuable time for the benefit of our trainees.
The program continues to evolve each year based on the general attendance, impact and feedback received from both trainees and consultants. Changes have continued to be incorporated in to the program to reduce the demand on trainees and surgeons while concentrating the teaching in to manageable segments. we have endeavoured to limit surgeon involvement to a maximum of one Saturday and one Tuesday for the majority of surgeons.
The Saturday Surgical Seminars held once a month on Saturday afternoons have been an outstanding success with record attendances by trainees and have been open to all surgical trainees in Victoria. The segment on “Medical Updates for Surgeons” has also become an established part of the program. In 2014 we introduce a session on Debtes as a learning tool for trainees. Our surgical colleagues from The Northern Hospital will also be participating in the Saturday Seminars. Friday morning sessions will alternate between clinical case discussions, video debriefing and a new format journal club. The SET1 Interview Prep Course to be run by surgeons for our future trainees has expanded to two days while the SET1 refresher course for trainees preparing for the surgical sciences and clinical examinations remains unchanged. The Wednesday Surgical Seminars will continue to see invited external speakers presenting to our surgical audience on current topics. Apart from the “Shock & Awe’ FRACS II exam prep tutorials and the Surgical Seminars which commence in February the main education program will remain concentrated between April and November 2014.
On Saturday the 7th of December 2013 the fifth Annual Austin Surgical Trainee Dinner was hosted by the trainees to demonstrate their appreciation of the time and effort imparted to them by the Surgeons and Fellows of the Austin Hospital. A similar event will be held on Saturday the 6th of December 2014 at the same venue. Finally, the Austin Research Prize will be moved to the same Saturday, the 6th of December 2014 to enable regional trainees to attend both events.
We wish to emphasize that the program is open to anyone who is interested from the Austin and other centres, including all Surgical Trainees, Unaccredited Registrars, Surgical HMOs, Interns and International Medical Graduates. The success of this program is dependent on active participation from all Surgical Trainees and staff members.
Thank you to all the members of the Division who participate in the surgical education program and we look forward to another successful year.

Surgical Education Program
INTRODUCTION: All Surgical Trainees are expected to participate in the Surgical Education Program. This program provides a continuous series of educational activities for trainees at all levels. Since its inception in 2003, the program has continued to evolve and at present encompasses a wide range of topics that is intended to provide a broad knowledge base.
SURGICAL TRAINEE REPRESENTATIVE: Two trainee representatives based at the Austin Hospital are chosen (usually SET4 trainees) to co-ordinate the Surgical Education Program. It will be the trainee representative’s responsibility to communicate with the relevant tutors in advance to confirm the sessions or make alternative arrangements if necessary. One trainee would be the designated contact person for SET2+ trainees while the other designated to cordinate the SET1 and NSET trainees.
ATTENDANCE: Attendance is MANDATORY for all SET & NSET trainees based at the Austin Hospital. All trainees including those on regional rotations are expected to attend the Saturday Surgical Seminars. Surgical HMOs and Interns are also strongly encouraged to participate.
ABSENCE: Trainees who are unable to attend a particular session are expected to inform the Surgical Trainee representative so that apologies may be noted. If trainees are unable to attend a session where they are expected to present, they must make alternate arrangements.
SURGICAL EDUCATION PAGER: Austin Hospital Lanpage No 6770 is linked to all surgical HMO and registrar pagers to enable group paging for educational sessions

Surgical Forum
Time: 0730 – 0830 (Light Breakfast at 0715) Day: WednesdayVenue: Lecture Theatre, Dept of Surgery, Level 8, Lance Townsend BuildingContent: The Surgical Forum will be conducted in two parts as described below:
INVITED LECTURES (February – July)
This will occur in the first half of the year from the 19th of February to the 16th of July. External speakers have been invited by the department to deliver clinical updates on current topics.
SURGICAL UNIT ANNUAL AUDITS (July – November)
This will be conducted in the second half of the year from the 23rd July to the 26th November. Each unit within the Division of Surgery is allocated a single day for a presentation of their Annual Surgical Audit.
The Austin Surgery Annual Surgical Audits provide an opportunity for all surgical units to present their annual activity, trends, outcomes and benchmarking. The unit members are encouraged to present the figures for the unit activity and the general and specific morbidity and mortality rates for the previous 12 month period. The morbidity should preferably relate to both the operation and the indication if possible (criteria auditing). All deaths should be listed. Detailed discussion of complications and deaths should be avoided in general as they would have been dicussed at the weekly surgical audits unless events led to a change in practice.
Audit structure
7.30 - 8.00 Unit Annual Audit8.00 - 8.15 Update presentation by unit
Units are encourag ed to deliver a 15 minute update on any subject within their subspecialty relating to advances in treatment, changes in the unit activity, new technologies or future directions.
It would be ideal if the heads of units would encourage other participating staff to attend (apart from the unit members) to their unit audits. This may include ward, theatre and anaesthetic nursing staff, as well as staff from other departments such as physiotherapy, nutrition, etc. In addition, members of similar units from other Melbourne hospitals may be invited and encouraged to attend. All units are kindly requested to supply an electronic version of the audit to the Department of Surgery archives. (See Kim McAughtry)

Saturday Surgical Seminars
SATURDAY SURGICAL SEMINARS:
Time: 1300 – 1700 Day: Saturday (Monthly)Venue: Lecture Theatre, Dept of Surgery, Level 8, Lance Townsend Building
Each surgical seminar will be as described below:1300 - 1330 Lunch1330 – 1430: Operative Surgery Quiz by the panel1430 – 1500: Medical Updates for Surgeons 1500 – 1530: Trainee Debate1530 - 1545: Tea Break1545 – 1615: Case presentations & quiz by Surgical Fellows1615 – 1700: “How I do it!” by a selected member of the panel.
The aim is to provide to an interactive monthly session on a Saturday afternoon to enable trainees from metropolitan and regional as well as interstate rotations to participate.
Each Surgical Seminar will consist of the popular operative surgery quiz by the panel members. This will be followed by a consultant physician delivering a formal presentation on a very relevant non-surgical issue. A change in 2014 is the introduction of a debate as a learning tool. Two trainees will debate a relevant topic which will be adjudicated by the panel and sumarised by the chairperson. The format of the debate will be 10 minute presentations by the two speakers in the affirmative and the negative followed by a five minute rebuttal by the same two trainees. Trainees are advised to contact the chairperson of the session well in advance to discuss the direction and focus of the debate. Trainees should expect to begin preparation at least two to three months in advance.
After a short break the surgical fellow relating to that subspecialty or one of the SET5 trainees would present a number of case studies related to the topic discussed. The session ends with a presentation (preferably video) by the chairperson.
Another change in 2014 is the inclusion of surgeons from The Northern Hospital who have kindly offered to participate in the panels.
All trainees except those posted interstate are expected to attend. Given the monthly frequency of the sessions, we expect trainees to be able to adjust their on call commitments in order to attend. Interstate trainees are strongly encouraged to attend where possible.
This session is open to all Victorian General Surgery Trainees, Surgical HMOs, Interns and Medical Students.

“Gratias Cena” - Austin General Surgery Trainees Dinner
Time: 1830Day: Saturday 6 December 2014Venue: The Italian, 101 Collins Street, Melbourne 3000Event Cordinators: Yahya Al-Habbal, Krinal Mori.
This is an event hosted by the Austin surgical trainees in appreciation of the education and training given them by the surgeons at the Austin Hospital.
The initial event was held in 2006 and after a hiatus of two years recommenced in 2009. The Austin Trainees conducted a very successful dinner event in December 2010 at Collin’s Kitchen, Grand Hyatt which for the first time included surgeons from many of the attached training hubs. The event moved to “The Residence”, Grand Hyatt, Melbourne in 2011 and 2012 on a Saturday night which resulted on more than 70 attendees. In 2013, the trainees hosted the event at the courtyard and the Mezzanine level of the award winning restaurant “The Italian” where it will remain for 2014.
The event provides an informal setting for trainees and surgeons to meet. In particular trainees were able to meet in person some of their consultants for the following year. This event has progressively expanded both in scope and quality and is expected be continued perpetually by the Austin surgical trainees. It also serves as an important time for surgical valedictorians, particularly those who have successfully completed their training. Supervisors and surgeons from Austin and Northern hospitals as well as all other metropolitan, regional and interstate hospitals where our trainees rotate to are invited to attend.
