Find practical ways to build on Surgical Day, from focused skills and research learning to clinical perspective, mentorship, and sustainable professional development.
Explore by interest. Engage at your stage.
A connected program
The four Surgical Day lectures introduce the core framework. These opportunities develop it further through dedicated activities, professional conversations, and practical learning.
Each activity has its own audience, learning objectives, capacity, and participation arrangements. Dates and availability are shared through specific announcements.
See the work behind the specialty
Understand the day-to-day reality of surgical practice through specialty introductions, reflective learning, and structured exposure. Clinical access depends on host authorization, supervision, patient consent, and local requirements.
Learn to contribute to a team
Surgical preparation includes how you communicate, work with others, teach, and take responsibility. Develop these habits through educational contributions and clearly defined roles.
Build a sustainable approach
Make room for realistic expectations, supportive relationships, and habits that can last through training. Wellbeing belongs within career preparation, alongside technical and academic progress.
Contribute with care
Move from reading evidence to asking a useful question and contributing to a well-supervised project. Research integrity, appropriate ethics review, and fair authorship remain central throughout.
Practise, receive feedback, repeat
Develop precision through practical learning with clear objectives. Start with foundational tasks and progress according to your experience, the learning setting, and tutor feedback.
Make your next decision an informed one
Learn from people at different stages of the surgical journey. Mentorship combines perspective, reflection, and practical planning, with room for your goals to change as your understanding develops.
The place to begin
Start with your current stage, a question you want answered, or a skill you want to develop.
The JSPI Pathway connects different opportunities with Explorer, Builder, Candidate, and Applicant stages. You do not need a complete career plan to find a useful starting point.
Find your stage in the pathwayParticipation
Email JSPI with your stage of training and the area you would like to explore. Individual activities have their own participation arrangements; an expression of interest does not reserve a place.
We welcome enquiries from residents, surgeons, academic educators, and experienced peer teachers. The appropriate role depends on the activity, expertise, and supervision requirements.
Any clinical activity requires authorization from the host institution and appropriate supervision, patient consent, and local permissions. Clinical access is arranged for specific activities rather than granted through website participation.
Yes. Educational speakers, supervised workshops, venues, research supervision, mentorship, and program evaluation are all useful areas for a collaboration conversation.
