Teaching

Members of the Section of Surgery are involved with teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students. They also work closely with their NHS colleagues who are vital to fulfilling this commitment to teaching.

The undergraduate course is an integrated curriculum which is based around the teaching of subject panels. Clinical experience, however, starts from Year 1 and occurs at a number of different points throughout the course.
