Theres many decisions within the decision tree:
*•⁠ ⁠Should I even do surgery?*
•⁠ ⁠Do I focus on a speciality first then decide to do primarily paediatric cases?
•⁠ ⁠⁠Do I choose paediatrics beforehand then choose surgery?
•⁠ ⁠⁠Can I do both?
•⁠ ⁠⁠I just wanna know what the portfolio requirements generally are…

💀 No prior experience needed — whether you’re a total newbie or already a laparoscopic legend, everyone’s welcome!

Halloween themed props / attire optional but encouraged!

So grab a friend, summon your inner surgeon, and join us for a night of trocars and treats 🍬🔪

🦴 Bones & Beyond: Paediatric MSK Uncovered

Join us for our first specialty talk — dive into real MSK cases, master the pGALS exam, and learn how to connect pre-clinical theory to clinical practice. Because bone pains in the young deserve just as much attention. 💬✨
