To make your surgery posting worth it you can follow these steps :

  • Actively participate in procedures and ask questions to learn.
  • Observe and learn from the surgical team, and take ownership of patient care.
  • Prepare beforehand by reviewing relevant anatomy and surgical procedures.
  • Practice skills like suturing and knot-tying to improve your hands-on abilities.
  • Seek feedback from seniors and peers to identify areas for improvement.
  • Reflect on your experiences and review what you’ve learned to reinforce your knowledge.

I hope by doing all this you will learn and enjoy your posting.
