Basic & Advanced Suturing Workshop
Basic Skills Workshop
An initiative by the 2018 Education Committee, this workshop begins with a theory session on the basics of suturing techniques, instrument ties, types of surgical instruments and suture materials, followed by practicing various basic suturing techniques. This programme recruits senior medical students of SMSANZ to faciliate and tutor their juniors.
Advanced Skills Workshop
Targetted at clinical year students, the SMSANZ first collaborated with the NHG Education in 2019 to bring to our members the Advanced Skills Workshop. The workshop allowed participants to refresh basic suturing skills and learn new surgical skills including laparoscopy.
Medversation
Medversation is a biennial seminar initiated by the 2018 Education Committee. Medversation 2018, Singapore’s Healthcare Landscape: A Decade from Now, aimed to inform SMSANZ members about the Singapore healthcare landscape, upcoming healthcare challenges, and the role of medical students and junior doctors in patient care. It also served as a platform for SMSANZ members to network and learn from reputable Singapore healthcare professionals through talks and discussion panels with keynote speakers.
