Abstract

Introduction: A growing body of international literature has shown that surgical interest amongst medical students (MS) has been steadily declining. Our objective was to assess the pre- and post-rotation understanding, knowledge and interest in surgery for a cohort of Australian MS and to evaluate how exposure to different factors during their surgery rotation (SR) impacted on their surgical interest.
