Rila Institute of Health Sciences Announces Dates for the Postgraduate Diploma in Minor Surgery

July 15, 2014 - PRLog -- Rila Institute of Health Sciences is pleased to announce that its programme the “Postgraduate Diploma in Minor Surgery” for 2014 will be held in:

-          United Kingdom in September

The structure of the course consists of three modules administered by Rila that focus on the primary areas of minor surgery: a core medical skills module, advanced studies module and a clinical practice module.

Introductory face to face workshops, held in the UK, are coupled with online reading and “case based discussions” facilitated by consultant surgeons.

Regular assessments online allow gauging of progress in knowledge and skills acquisition. Once the student has completed the course, success in a final written paper confers the Postgraduate Diploma in Minor Surgery which is awarded by Rila’s collaborative partner, MiddlesexUniversity, London. The holder is then registered as an alumnus of the University in its graduate roll.

This programme is suitable for medical or healthcare practitioners already working in any clinical area and who wish to deepen their knowledge of minor surgery. These professionals should have an MBBS or an equivalent degree/experience, proof of a basic knowledge of the minimum standard in the English language is required if the basic medical degree was not conducted in the English medium.

A Postgraduate Diploma in Minor Surgery indicates to colleagues and patients that the holder has a special interest in minor surgery, and affords greater confidence when delivering minor surgery care. Students can also build their credentials through this programme, as it is accredited by many influential Surgery organisations such as the Royal College of General Practitioners, the National Association for Primary Care and the International Primary Care Association.

The course fees for the Postgraduate Diploma are £3,600 with a £120 registration fee for students in the UK, and for those overseas the costs are £3,600 with a £120 registration fee.
