Abstract

Successful selection to surgery demands thorough preparation, beginning invariably in medical school. Junior doctors in Britain undergo a two-year competitively selected foundation programme (F1–F2), during which they complete six rotations of four months’ duration in acute and chronic specialties.1 Surgical training is split into two stages: basic (core) surgical training and higher (specialty) surgical training.
