Training Opportunities

Training in Endocrine Surgery in Australia may be experienced with one of two main pathways.

The first is during Advanced Surgical Training leading to the Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in the specialty of General Surgery. This is a 4 year programme and trainees may undertake a 6 month rotation either in endocrine surgery, breast and endocrine surgery, or oncology and endocrine surgery. Details are available at RACS.
