Needs assessment of surgical skills of interns: a qualitative study in metropolitan Melbourne, Australia
This qualitative study interviewed key stakeholders to identify important skills in order to help newly qualified interns to thrive in a surgical rotation. These skills in particular included more supervised hands-on practical teaching. Future studies involving graduates from other medical schools may provide a better understanding of surgical education in the wider Australian context.
