FUSS let’s you know where surgery can take you in the future!
On Wednesday 22nd September, the Flinders University Surgical Society will hold its inaugural Surgical Careers Night at Adelaide’s finest conference venue, the Hilton International Hotel, Adelaide.
This marquee event will be a unique opportunity to hear from the top surgeons practicing in South Australia from a wide variety of surgical fields. Speakers will provide us with an insight into their life as a surgeon whilst also focusing on new and upcoming techniques within their specialties.
As one of the largest events ever run by students of the Flinders Medical School, we hope to accommodate as many of you as possible for this high-quality education evening. A major highlight will be the trade exhibition running concurrently to the academic program throughout the night. This will provide students with the opportunity to chat with representatives from some of Australia’s biggest medical and surgical companies, and thanks to these sponsors, there will be a huge number of prizes and freebies to be given away.
Students will have the chance to win suture kits, several textbooks (including the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Surgery), signed copies of Craig Jurisevic’s autobiography, ‘Blood on my Hands’, and many other great prizes.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, this night will be FREE for all FUSS members. This includes an exquisite buffet dinner for all attendees, a FREE registration pack (including all the information you need to apply for surgery), an attendee show-bag full of great goodies, and access to the trade exhibition.
This night is not just for students who are determined to become surgeons, but also for those who want to learn more about what surgery has to offer as a career. The list of speakers is as follows:
- Professor Rob Pabdury (Hepatobilary surgery, FMC)
- Professor Guy Maddern (Academic surgery, RAH)
- Dr Peter Devitt (Upper GI, RAH)
- Associate Professor John Greenwood (Plastic surgery, RAH)
- Dr Jayme Bennetts (Cardiothoracic surgery, FMC)
- Dr Matthew McDonald (Neurosurgery, FMC)
- Dr Christopher Kirby (Paediatric surgery, FMC)
