Overview

Are you a future leader in surgical education?

The Graduate Certificate of Surgical Education is the industry leading course for surgeons who want to pass on their experience and knowledge to the next generation. Students will gain a foundation in educational practice for optimising surgical training in the complex sets of skills required for safe surgical practice.

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

Now with all subjects being delivered online, the Graduate Certificate of Surgical Education is designed with the flexibility to accommodate practising surgeons as they become world-class educators.

The Graduate Certificate is also a key pathway into the Master of Surgical Education, the industry-leading course in its field.
