List of Specialties

We aim to provide exposure to as many surgical specialties as possible during the clinical course.

General surgical teaching is delivered in years 4 and 6 of the clinical course as shown below. 

Year 4

  • Students will attend the Patient Doctor II course during September.  During this time, some will be allocated to surgical specialties
  • Six weeks between January and June which is split into a three week and two week attachment covering two specialties and one week on SEU
  • Six weeks to be spent at one of the District General Hospitals, split between Medicine and Surgery

Year 6

  • The five-week surgical block allows students three weeks on one specialty followed by two weeks on a different firm
  • As in year 4, six weeks at a DGH split between Medicine and Surgery 

These attachments are carefully planned to ensure that students are exposed to as many specialties during the three year course as possible. Before joining Year 6, you will be asked to specify your firm preferences.
