Association of Surgons in Training

 

 

The Association of Surgeons in Training represents all surgical trainees at regional and national level

ASiT represents the views of all surgical trainees on the major surgical councils and committees in the UK.

 

The Modernising Medical Careers programme is changing the face of surgical training as we know it. Individuals wishing to pursue a career in surgery must familiarise themselves with this programme and align their CV appropriately. We are lobbying hard to see a fair period of transition for all trainees but the situation is changing daily. Please see the various documents below for current positions on MTAS and MMC.

 

Very soon we will say good-bye to this website. It has served us well and over the last 4 years our communication with our members has become almost entirely electronic. But this format is now looking tired and we have a number of new features we are excited to be introducing ...

 

ASiT continues to lobby on the European Working Time Directive and has submitted a report to the UK Government and European bodies, and some preliminary responses have been received. ASiT will be entering into negotiations with the British Medical Association JDC to establish ways forward for Surgery. We are making representation to the UEMS on behalf of Surgical Trainees.

 

We are pleased to announce that we will be expanding our role with regards to careers advice for medical students. Medical student affiliate membership is now available with special offers, including up to 30% off books from leading publishers and reduced price courses.

 

ASiT is keen to hear from members about current concerns and participation in the email discussion group is a valuable way to keep in touch and let us know what is going on.

 

Please JOIN ASiT and let us know what concerns you at this time.
