About:

This series of educational talks, which will be delivered via Zoom, is aimed at Medical Students preparing for Progress Tests. It will enable attendees to revise in a systematic manner and enhance their confidence in key topics.

Eight sessions will be held between December 2021 and April 2022, each of which will discuss core surgical topics that are broached in Progress Tests, as well as practice questions.
