Dr. Nicole Winter
Co-Supervisor Pre-SET Training
Welcome to the St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne Pre-SET Surgical Training Program 2023. I am would firstly like to congratulate Henry Badgery, the PreSET committee and our PreSET doctors for a very successful 2022. We have settled into progressive and flexible ways of engagement and education. I am excited to see this flourish in the years to come.
Our goals for 2022 were seen through the hard work of our PreSET committee with greater collaboration with the Academy of Surgeon’s and St Vincent’s Surgical Students’ Society. We saw the very first Registrar Ready day involving all 3 societies, and needless to say it was the most engaging, educational and let’s not underplay, the most “fun” event of the year.
2022 was a very successful year for GSET applications with 5 out of 6 interviewed applicants receiving an offer for training. Their success is a reflection of at least 3 years of preparation with St Vincent’s Hospital, PreSET Society support, PreSET biannual interview process, our GSET interview practice program and the immeasurable education provided during clinical terms. We will continue to run these programs and aim to improve them further with each year’s experience. One thing is for certain, the more you are involved, the more you will also achieve.
We are very excited to have Adrienne Lui as our Chief Surgical Resident for 2023. Adrienne comes with several years of experience on the PreSET Society and lots of fresh new ideas leading our team this year.
Every year as we continue to improve our education and social programs, we invite you to also get involved in shaping this community. I would like to wish you all the best for 2023, find your path, use your strength and celebrate all your achievements.
