RCSI Surgical Bootcamp trains next generation of surgeons

More than 80 surgical trainees have completed RCSI’s ‘Surgical Bootcamp’. Now in its eighth year, the intensive 40-hour course was developed to immerse surgical trainees in the technical and non-technical skills needed as a surgeon.

Over three weeks, this year’s programme saw each Core Surgical Trainee complete a week of training sessions in person at the National Surgical and Clinical Skills Centre at RCSI’s 26 York Street with additional online training.
