Welcome to the 6th 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 response to popular demand by attendees, this session will have an exclusive focus on maximising your portfolio for the surgical training application. We are thrilled to present Ms. Minahi Ilyas, who holds an MRCS, an MSc in Surgical Sciences, and a PGDip in Clinical Education. As an ST3 in General Surgery, Minahi will offer an in-depth look into her training journey and provide valuable insights on how to construct a robust portfolio for Core Surgical Training and ST3 General Surgery.

Join us on the 1st of September 2023!!!

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