A brief history
The Surgical Society of Notre Dame Sydney was established by a group of students with a strong surgical interest who thought it would be a sound idea to establish a society to promote surgery as a career to medical students.
FAQ:
Q: What does the Surgical Society do?
A: The Surgical Society runs events and professional development workshops, mostly here at Notre Dame, designed to foster interest in surgery as a career path and to provide support to those students who already have a vision to do surgery in achieving their desired outcome.
Such events include suturing workshops under the guidance from established surgeons, talks from world-class surgeons such as Dr Charlie Teo and Dr. Emily Granger, and Q&A sessions with RACS representatives who share their wisdom on how to take that next step towards a surgical career.
Q: What are the plans for the future?
A: Our goals for the Society this year are very much aligned to establishing its foundation and development with the support of MANDUS. We encourage any individual with a passion for surgery to check out our events, and if you’re interested in building the Society itself, we would love to have you apply for a leadership role.
