Facilitate a RACS professional development course or activity

Are you interested in delivering outstanding training and workshops that engage participants and meet the learning objectives of our members?

Professional development activities provide valuable opportunities for Fellows and others to expand knowledge and gain new skills.

They also help surgeons share ideas and experiences with their peers. Facilitating on professional development activities is a rewarding opportunity to keep up-to-date and network with like minded professionals, while giving back to the healthcare system. 

The RACS professional development activities focus on the non-technical aspects of competence relevant to all surgical specialties. These include communication, collaboration, management and leadership, health advocacy, scholarship and teaching, and professionalism. This is in addition to those that relate to the more technical roles of a surgeon, such as medical expertise, technical expertise and clinical decision making.
