There comes a time when a medical student or junior doctor decides to proceed on the path of a surgical career. The first step is the process of surgical training, education, and assessment conduct by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.

He reflects on his own experience, including what he would have done differently if he’d had his time again.
