UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME
The Department of Surgery is one of the main departments involved in undergraduate medical education in the Faculty of Medicine. We have been involved in medical student teaching since the start of our clinical school in 1965.
Our teaching contribution starts the moment the students enter medical school i.e. pre-clinical Stage 1 & 2. Our curriculum being an integrated teaching module, we introduce clinical aspects of preclinical sciences during the first 2 years of their studies.
During the clinical Stage 3 blocks (Year 3-5), our students spend a total of 16 weeks in the department of surgery rotating among all the sub-specialties of the surgical discipline.
During their rotation in department of surgery, our students will be taught to:
- Clerk and follow the course of patients including investigation and management, preoperative assessment, operative procedures and post-operative recovery where appropriate.
- Learn to perform basic clinical procedures under supervision
- Be involved in planning for care and follow-up in the community after discharge from hospital.
- Be involved in communicating information to patients and relatives (though not as the sole provider of information).
- Attend and participate in clinical unit meetings, ward rounds and case presentations..
The syllabus covered in the Surgical posting include:
- Basic Clinical Science in Surgery
- Principles of Surgery (applied physiology and pathophysiology) and the specific skills required
- Specialty-based topics in surgery and the specific skills required
- Soft skills and transferable skills
