背景：我们描述了医学生外科兴趣小组的发展，它的初步评估，以及未来的计划。墨尔本外科学生会成立于2008年8月，由墨尔本大学的一群医学高年级学生组成。墨尔本外科学生协会寻求为对外科职业感兴趣的学生提供额外的外科教学和职业发展。它还旨在为初级医生提供领导力和教学机会，以满足澳大利亚皇家外科学院申请外科教育和培训计划的要求。它的计划还解决当代劳动力问题，如外科手术和乡村手术中的妇女。该学会在学期期间每周举办一次教学计划，全年举办程序和职业工作坊。方法：通过书面和在线问卷调查的方式对参加该计划的学生进行调查。结果：结果表明，该协会在加强外科教育和提供提高程序技能的机会方面取得了成功，但也强调了该计划可以改进的领域，包括外科专业发展和角色塑造方面。结论：外科学生协会倡议总体上受到学生的欢迎，显示出作为加强医学生外科教育的一种手段的巨大潜力。约70：55-58。(C)2012年外科方案主任协会。由Elsevier Inc.出版。保留所有权利。)
BACKGROUND: We describe the development of a medical student surgical interest group, its initial evaluation, and future plans. The Surgical Students Society of Melbourne was formed in August 2008 by a group of senior medical students from the University of Melbourne. The Surgical Students Society of Melbourne seeks to provide additional surgical teaching and professional development for students interested in a career in surgery. It also aims to provide junior doctors with leadership and teaching opportunities to meet the requirements of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons for application to the Surgical Education and Training program. Its program also addresses contemporary workforce issues, such as women in surgery and rural surgery. The society runs a weekly teaching program during the semester and procedural and careers workshops throughout the year.METHODS: A survey of students attending the teaching program was conducted by means of written and online questionnaires.RESULTS: The results suggest that the society has been successful in augmenting surgical education and providing opportunities to improve procedural skills, but also highlighted areas of the program that may be improved, including aspects of surgical professional development and role modeling.CONCLUSIONS: The Surgical Students Society initiative was generally very well received by students and shows great potential as a means for augmenting surgical education at the medical student level.
