SURGERY 7054HO - Surgical Science Theory and Principles I

Teaching Hospitals - Semester 1 - 2015

The course will provide students' with a theoretical and practical understanding of the history of surgery and the integration of surgery and science. This course addresses a range of topics and technologies to consolidate and deepen the student's knowledge of the relevant anatomy, pathophysiology and internal medicine as related to surgery. It will provide an introduction to a more scientific approach to the study of surgery from a clinical, developmental and evolutionary perspective. It will focus on the physiological changes and the immunological ramifications of surgery; and the course will also look at the issues surrounding tumour biology and genetics and the appropriate use of surgical techniques in its management. The course will use specific surgical cases as a method of demonstrating these principles. At the end of the course students will have a sound theoretical basis for the performance, purpose and implications of surgery. A mix of lectures and tutorials will be provided for the students to discuss and develop a significant knowledge base.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
