Run by the St Vincent’s Melbourne Pre- SET Surgical Society (SVMPSSS)
The goals of the SVM PSSS are to support pre-vocational doctors in being accepted onto their desired surgical training program; to nurture the culture and camaraderie among St Vincent’s doctors; and to provide support, education, training and professional guidance. Acceptance onto a surgical training program is an increasingly competitive process, and surgical residents will commonly spend many years as Pre-SET doctors. It is vital that these years are as rich and productive as possible. The SVMPSSS has been proactive in establishing programs to aid professional development of our pre-vocational surgical doctors through mentoring, education and research.
