Dunedin Basic Medical Sciences Course 2024 – CSSP Fellowship Course
We are pleased to advise that the Dunedin course (previously Queenstown) which prepares candidates for the CSSP exam will be offered on 20-28 July 2024. The lectures follow closely the curriculum as published on the RACS website and this is a RACS-approved course. This course is particularly aimed at those who are preparing for the Mid-Set exam in Cardiothoracic Surgery. The course is also appropriate for those seeking consolidation of the basic sciences as they pertain to the cardiac, respiratory and vascular systems.
The course is now a residential course, if a candidate so desires. There are discounted rates for accommodation at Distinction Leisure Lodge for registrants. Accommodation can be procured off-site if a registrant desires.
