University of Oxford's Nuffield Department of Surgery Survey

We are currently developing a proposal for a part-time MSc in Surgical Sciences (working title). The structure of the proposed MSc has been specifically designed to accommodate the needs of surgeons in training.  It will be available to study on a part-time basis over 2-3 years and will involve the study of six taught modules (and the completion of associated assignments) and a research project and associated dissertation. The Master's modules will also be available to study on a stand-alone basis as short CPD courses or for academic credit towards a Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma, requiring the successful completion of three or six modules, respectively. Subject to University approval, the Master's programme could be available to study from October 2011.

As part of the development process we are keen to obtain feedback on, and gauge potential interest in, the proposed Master's Programme from surgical trainees. We have created an online survey (accessible at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Oxford_MSc_SurgicalScience), which provides further information about the proposed MSc, to collect feedback on the proposed MSc content and structure.
