Our Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences(FMHS) is the first medical school in Australia to offer credentialed sub-speciality, post-fellowship training. It is located next to Macquarie University Hospital, Australia’s only private hospital on a university campus. In other words, our researchers and teachers are given a uniquely high level of support. The Graduate Diploma of Specialised Surgery (GradDipSpSurg) is 0.5 year, full time program centred on developing knowledge, decision-making skills, and competency in a variety of specialisations and consists of four units of study.These are either a combination of units for workplace learning with competency-based assessment along with coursework and research units. Or, for the robotics specialisation, units with a series of week-long intensives supported by pre- and post- intensive online materials as well as coursework and research units.

It is intended for doctors who wish to develop specific expertise in a surgical sub-specialty as well as research and leadership capabilities.
