COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Graduate Diploma in Surgical Education is a two-year course for surgeons at the top of their profession who want to pass on their experience and knowledge to the next generation. Students will gain an invaluable foundation in the teaching skills essential for training future surgeons in the complex sets of skills required for safe surgical practice.

Offered through the Department of Surgery and Austin Health, in partnership with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS), this course caters to the unique challenges of clinical and surgical settings and recognises the advanced technologies that are increasingly important in surgery and surgical training.

Now predominantly online, the Graduate Diploma is designed with the flexibility to accommodate practising surgeons as they become world-class educators.

This course is designed for fellows, trainees and non-surgeons who contribute to surgical education programs and want to become educators. This includes:

  • Surgeons
  • Veterinary surgeons
  • Clinical proceduralists
  • Obstetricians
  • Gynaecologists.

Course structure

To gain the Graduate Diploma in Surgical Education, you must complete four core subjects and choose another four elective subjects (12.5 credit points each). You are expected to enrol in four subjects per semester, but it’s possible to undertake just one, and complete the certificate over a longer period of time.
