Edinburgh Specialist Surgical Qualification - University of Edinburgh
This two year part-time Masters programme in General Surgery, taught entirely online, is offered by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh, and leads to the degree of Master of Surgery (ChM). Based on the UK Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum, the ChM allows trainees in general surgery to select those advanced modules relevant to their declared subspecialty, and supports learning for the Exit Intercollegiate Fellowship Examination.
In the first year, compulsory core modules cover the basic elements of the subspecialties of General Surgery. Each module is based around relevant surgical cases, and includes discussion boards and video masterclasses. In the second year, academic modules (core and specialist) explore research and teaching methodology, as well as develop skills to ensure an ability to analyse published evidence and explore interactive and written clinical communication skills. Students on this course will be expected to lead e-seminars and e-journal clubs, and will produce an e-dissertation in the second year. A written examination is held in second year, following completion of core modules.
