IST Evaluation
Dear all,
As part of the evaluation of Improving Surgical Training (IST), the evaluators are keen to get in touch with other specialties, professions or doctors at a different level of training than core surgery. The evaluators have developed the following survey for trainees that are currently in or have been in a surgical rotation within foundation. Not only do they wish to explore the impact of IST but they are also interested in the attractiveness of IST for those in foundation as a future training pathway.
Please can you complete the survey by 24th November 2019.
