Welcome to the third FTSS surgical specialty teaching session. This is a collaborative initiative between the West Midlands Foundation Trainees Surgical Society(FTSS) and the Surgical Society of International Doctors(SSID).

This teaching series offers insider perspectives from trainees across diverse surgical specialities. An exclusive look into their weekly routines, shedding light on the pros and cons of their chosen specialities, the challenges they’ve faced and a succinct review of common cases they often encounter. Additionally, we also delve into details about the application process for their respective training programs.

In this third session, we are excited to feature Usama Abdul Hussain(Sami) MBBS BSc (Hons), ST1 OPHTHALMOLOGY specialty trainee from the West Midlands.

Sami will take us through a typical day in his life and his journey through the ophthalmology training application process. Additionally, he will be providing vital advice on how best to prepare for the MSRA exam.

The segment focused on the MSRA will prove to be incredibly valuable for those aspiring to apply for Core Surgical Training.

Join us on the 3rd of July 2023!!!

Organisers: Dr Jefferson George, Dr Fraser Morgan, Ms Rebecca Lefroy, Mr Sriram Rajagopalan
