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 2017. This program is aimed at providing continuing surgical education and training delivered through a series of tutorials, seminars, journal clubs and workshops. It also provides participation to all members of the Division of Surgery through the Surgical Forums and the Annual Surgical Unit Audits. The current level of excellence of this program predominantly due to the commitment and dedication by the members of the Division of Surgery who continue to volunteer their valuable time for the benefit of our trainees.
The program continues to evolve increasingly passing on a level of responsibility to our trainees. The Austin General Surgical Trainees Education Committee established in 2014 has continued to progressively take on the responsibility for developing and delivering the program.
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 continue to be our flagship education module. Participation of our colleagues from The Northern Hospital has been an enormous success. Inviting previous Austin trainees presently working in other centres to participate in the education process last year was universally embraced by the invited surgeons. The format continues to change and in 2017 is divided in to two segments with participating surgeons being only required to attend one of the two.
A paradigm shift in our educational activities took place in 2014 with the delivery of two advanced surgical workshop with wet lab specimens. We continue with four workshops each year aimed at junior SET and JDOCs.
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.
Thank you to all the members of the Division, Surgeons from The Northern Hospital, External Invited Speakers, Specialty Fellows and Surgical Trainees who participate in the surgical education program and we look forward to another successful year.

Surgical Education Program
INTRODUCTION: All General 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.
SURGICAL EDUCATION CO-ORDINATORS: Two trainees based at the Austin Hospital are chosen (usually SET4 trainees) to co-ordinate the Surgical Education Program. It will be the co-ordinator’s responsibility to communicate with the relevant tutors in advance to confirm the sessions or make alternative arrangements if necessary.
ATTENDANCE: Attendance is strongly encouraged 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, Interns and medical students are also strongly encouraged to participate.
ABSENCE: Trainees who are unable to attend a particular session are expected to inform the Trainee Co-ordinators 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.

The General Surgery Trainee Representatives have played a major role in liaising between train-ees and their teachers to ensuring the smooth running of the Surgical Education Program and as mentors to junior surgical trainees. In 2013 a formal General Surgery Trainees Education Com-mittee (ASTEC) was established to further facilitate the process of education and learning. The roles and membership were expanded in 2015 as trainees took on more proactive roles in the delivery of surgical training and education. Membership for 2017 is as follows:

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 8th of February to the 12th 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 19th of 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 encouraged 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)

Division of Surgery Weekly Audit
Time: 0730 – 0830 (Light Breakfast at 0715)
Day: Thursday
Dates: Commences 2 February 2017; Ends 21 December 2017;
Venue: Lecture Theatre, Dept of Surgery, Level 8, Lance Townsend Building
Content: The weekly audit meeting is attended by all units within the Division of
Surgery.
Audit Content: The audits should display the weekly activity of the relevant unit, including
operative, endoscopic and non-operative cases. Morbidity and mortality should be listed and
relevant cases discussed in detail highlighting specific issues and corrective measures.
Audit Format: The surgical audit is presented electronically using the lectern computer
and projector.
Audit Submission: Electronic format of the audit should be sent to Kim McAughtry at the
Department of Surgery (T: 9496 5468; E: [email protected]) to be received latest by
1400hrs on the Wednesday preceding the Audit. These will be uploaded to the computer
in the Lecture Theatre ready for presentation. Late submissions will NOT be uploaded.
Late comers: We ask those who are unable to email their audits to Kim, to kindly arrive 15
minutes early and upload your presentation on to the lectern computer. Uploading it during
the audit presentations is extremely inconsiderate towards the audience.
Multi-Unit Involvement: When specific complications or management issues involve
more than one unit then the presenting unit should contact the other units prior to the
audit to allow time for them to discover and prepare information. This would allow a more
productive audit meeting as the issues will then likely not need to be revisited repeatedly.
Training Component: Although not high on the priorities for surgical trainees the audit
provides an excellent platform on which to hone their oral skills. It would be useful for the
trainees to prepare their presentations so that they are able to focus on the relevant aspects
succinctly and deliver the information as if they were presenting at an oral exam.

All trainees except those posted interstate are expected to attend. Interstate trainees are strongly encouraged to attend where possible.
MAJOR CHANGES FOR 2017
The session is split into two with surgeons requiring to stay for only one of them.• Two separate quiz sessions, one in each half• Medical talks and Debates occuring on alternate months• Introduction of surgical spots by fellows / senior registrars / surgeons•
SPLIT SESSIONS:
In order to reduce the impact on our surgeons the sessions have been split so that eachsurgeon participating would not spend more than approximately three hours. Splitting thequiz session also increases the flexibility of the sessions
AUDIENCE:
These sessions are open to all Victorian General Surgery Trainees, Surgical HMOs,
Interns, Medical Students nursing and Allied Health Staff.

Saturday Surgical Seminars
OPERATIVE SURGERY QUIZ: [First session 60mins; Second session 30mins]This is by far the most valued and sought after session by the trainees. This involves surgeons rapidly questioning trainees coming up for their FRACS exams. Each surgeon will question a different trainee and the trainee will have 5 minutes to answer the question and subsequent follow up questions. At five minutes we move to the next trainee. If the question is answered satisfactorily then the next surgeon asks a new question of the next trainee. If not the old question is passed to the next trainee.
Chair & Convenor will maintain time discipline and move the session along.
SURGICAL SPOTS: [30mins]Presented by a senior registrar, fellow or recent graduand of Austin. This is aimed at mimicking the exam by focussing on a photograph / radiograph and developing a discussion around it. A minimum of six spots should be presented with 5 minutes for each spot and the audience being quizzed by the presenter.
CASE PRESENTATIONS: [30mins]Delivered by Fellows or senior trainees and aimed at provoking discussions with the audience. Usually present three case presentations.
MEDICINE FOR SURGEONS: [30mins]The medical talks continue to be closely linked to the main topic where possible. One surgeon is assigned as discussant to lead the discussions.
FROM PREPARATION TO OPERATION: HOW I DO IT: [30mins]In this session the presenter describes his approach to a particular procedure. This includes preoperative preparation, anticipation of difficulties and a description of the entire procedure.
HOW I DO IT: [20mins]Short presentations outlining salient aspects of how the surgeons do it. Preferably with video displays but power point or verbal discussions and drawings are also acceptable.
TIPS & TRICKS: [20mins]This also relates to the main topic and the how I do it presentations. Surgeon should focuson no more than 3 technical or management aspects that will help deal with the clinicalsituation.
REFLECTION & SUMMARY: Done by the convenor. An important part of strengthening the learning process and emphasizing the core messages.

Saturday Surgical Seminars
DEBATES:
The topics for the debates are chosen from a list of topics supplied by the various heads of the General Surgery Units.
Captains: Two captains are identified on the program, one proponent and one opponent. It is the responsibility of each captain to contact the chairman of the session and prepare the content for the debate.
Team members: In addition to the captains each team will consist of two other members who will be chosen at random at the beginning of the symposium. Obviously the team members will have no time to prepare. The captains will provide them with the necessary summary information for the debate.
Concept: The idea of the debate is for trainees to be able to speak under pressure with little preparation.
Format: Each speaker (six including the two captains) will speak for 3 minutes alternating between the proponent and opponent. The first speaker introduces the team and their debate topic along with some facts. The second speaker speaks on the body of factual information. The final speaker summarises the arguments. Each speaker also will counter the previous speakers’ argument.
Summary: Each team captain will present a single powerpoint slide summarizing the main points and list upto five important publications.
Results: The panel will retire from the room to decide on the winner. The winner is based on the quality of the debate, the strength of the arguments and the style of debating rather than the factual details.

Saturday Simulation Workshop - Austin
Time: 0900 – 1200 Day: Saturday as noted overleaf
Venue: Austin Simulation Centre, Level 7 Harold STokes Building.
Registration: Entry only be prior regsitration through Kim McAughtry
T: + 61 3 9496 5468 E: [email protected]
Trainee Co-ordinator: Ben Birch
The aim is to provide interactive simulation and training in selected areas. These will be repeated annually depending on the success and participation by trainees. In 2014 two separate workshops were conducted in the Simulation Centre on level 7 HSB, Austin Health. Building on that success we held five separate simulation workshops in 2015 and consolidated them to four events in 2016. We plan to gradually build on the success of the previous years and increase the qulality of the workshops to complement those being conducted at the RACS Skills Centre.
Note: The dates and workshop topics are all confirmed. However due to unforseen circumstances there may be some changes in the faculty and the content
24 hour Access to laparoscopic trainer boxes:
In 2017 a room 24 hour access is likely to become available to host four laparoscopic trainer boxes kindly donated by Applied Medical. Once established this will enable Austin tsurgical trainees to access and practice advanced laparoscopic skills at their own convenience in addition to formal workshops.

Saturday Simulation Workshops
NOTE ON REGISTRATION: The number of trainees who will be able to participate is limited between 16 - 20 depending on the workshop. We wish to maximise the exposure to our trainees so expect all those who register to attend the session.
INABILITY TO ATTEND: The sponsors contribute significant funding to run these workshops and non-attendance is a waste of resources and prevets another trainee from attending.
You are expected to give 72 hour notice to Kim McAughtry if you are unable to attend•
If there is a short term emergency or unavoidable circumstance that prevents you from • attendance at short notice you must provide evidence to support it
If you register and do not attend and don’t fall in to the above categories, then you will not be • eligible to attend any future surgical Simulation Workshops

“Gratias Cena” - Austin General Surgery Trainees Dinner
Time: 1900Day: Saturday 28 October 2017Venue: Cumulus IncEvent Cordinators: Yuen Chiu Kang & Maree Loveluck
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”. In 2014 it moved to “The Boat House” in Moonee Ponds and returned to the city in 2015 at the “Moon under Water”in Ftizroy and the Taxi restaurant in 2016.
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
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.
