  • Title: Acquiring surgical skills: the history of surgical teaching at the University of Sydney 1883-2014.
    Author: Brown KG, Storey CE.
    Journal: ANZ J Surg; 2016 Jun; 86(6):448-53. PubMed ID: 26990698.
    Abstract:
    There have been at least 10 major revisions of the medical curriculum since the inauguration of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sydney in 1883. This study traced the evolution of the teaching of surgery at our institution by examination of the set curriculum of each period; the expectations of student knowledge in the final examination as well as examining some of the insights provided by past students of their surgical experience through their writings. In the early years, medical graduates were qualified to perform operative surgery without any further training, whereas the modern postgraduate medical curriculum provides students with the basis for further surgical training.
