Have you placed Robbins and Cotran, Ganong and Guyton and Hall in front of you to study and felt completely overwhelmed? St Vincent’s Melbourne Pre-Set Society is here to help.
The Generic Surgical Sciences Exam (GSSE) is mandatory for entrance into most surgical specialty training programs. Surgical residents often find the anatomy component the most enjoyable and easiest to study. While physiology and pathology are left aside not knowing where to start learning these complex topics.
We have designed an intensive two day education program to kick start those difficult subjects. The lectures are based on subjects that have the greatest weight in the exam, providing the highest yield for your study.
We will gratefully be assisted by senior staff at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne, who will run expert lectures on important topics.
• Are you an intern not sure what field of medicine you want to pursue?
• Are you a BPT or critical care streamed resident with your own exams coming up?
• Are you a medical student struggling with physiology and pathology?
YOU ARE ALL WELCOME! We found that in previous years, JMOs from all disciplines found our education course to be beneficial to their study, as most career paths require a good foundation in the basic sciences.
We hope that those attending this education session gain useful information that will lead to a successful GSSE and future exams in any discipline.
