ASiT Trainee Survey: Cost of Surgical Training
ASIT need your help in completing our survey into how much your surgical training is costing.
The last ten years have seen training costs increase dramatically while funding has been cut. The JCST Trainee Fee is only capped until next year and we need you to tell us if you are happy with current arrangements.
Current issues relating to funding in surgical training:
• Who should fund postgraduate medical education (PME)?
• What proportion of the costs of PME should be borne by the individual in training?
ASiT previously published a discussion statement on this topic in 2007, which can be downloaded below. Given the subsequent rises in exam, course and training fees, in addition to spiraling graduate debt, it is time to update this.
Please give us 5 minutes of your time; the data collected will help ASiT campaign for better value in your surgical training.
Please help us to help you!
