Year A students learn surgical skills
Forty Year A medical students from the School of Rural Health Churchill took part in a recent workshop to learn surgical skills such as basic suturing and hand tying of knots.
The workshop was run by the Monash University Surgical Interest Group (MUSIG).
Two general surgeons, Mr Neil Jayasuriya and Mr Gordon Arthur, assisted with the workshop while a surgical registrar, Mr Dane Holden, helped at the information session on surgery.
MUSIG committee members, Michael and Matt, coordinated the night with the help of Hemma Valluvan and five Year 5D students.
The workshop was a huge success and a great chance for students to network and build new skills. It was also a good opportunity to find out more about surgery and the journey into this career.
The event was made possible by the School of Rural Health with a special mention to Kelsey Giardina for her invaluable support.
