BACKGROUND: The 'Surgical Anatomy Based on GSSE' course is an elective within the Master of Surgery coursework degree. It is designed to assist in preparation for the General Surgical Science Examination (GSSE), conducted by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) and required for entry into the Surgical Education and Training (SET) program. The purpose of this study was to investigate student perception of the course, and their knowledge acquisition.
APPROACH: Forty-six students enrolled during 2022 and 2023. Teaching sessions occurred across nine 7-h face to face sessions. Topics included upper extremity, lower extremity, head and neck, thorax and back, abdomen, pelvis and perineum. Modified team-based learning methods included online pre-class preparation (pre-recorded lectures, reading and quizzes). Classes were facilitated by anatomists, surgeons and course alumni, where students worked in groups of four, with didactic teaching based on specially prosected wet specimens. Assessment methods included multiple-choice questions and SPOT tests.
EVALUATION: In total, 45/46 (98%) students responded to a post-course survey, including closed and open-ended items. All students (100%) passed the course assessments. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse course assessment data. Overall, students reported a positive experience, finding the course helpful in preparation for the GSSE. While participants found the teaching methods and supervision valuable, some suggested a need for additional sessions.
IMPLICATIONS: The course provided a comprehensive platform for both self-directed and supervisor-led learning of anatomy at postgraduate level. It demonstrates an excellent framework for aspiring surgical trainees to acquire knowledge and skills in preparation for the GSSE.
