Fast-track your journey to becoming a surgeon
Technical skills alone will not get you there.
The surgeons who advance fastest have mastered a skill rarely taught: how to maximise learning from every single case.
The Lapco Train the Trainee course provides the framework to turn routine training into accelerated progress.
Three foundations of a good trainee
Everything in the programme builds toward these three working habits.
Excellent surgeons are not simply trained — they learn how to learn, create opportunities to train, and take ownership of their own development.
Technical skill alone won’t get you there
Places are capped at just 12 delegates. This is not a passive webinar. It is a genuinely interactive small-group experience, with interaction with expert trainers. The format is built to fit around your rota: one live online session (2 hours), plus a flexible on-demand course pack (~4 hours) of video modules, key readings, and reflection exercises you can complete in your own time.
A continuous loop with your trainer*
Particular emphasis is placed on building a continuous feedback loop with trainers fostering a culture of ongoing learning and growth and addressing the common challenges trainees face along the way.
Built for busy surgical trainees
A live online format that fits surgical trainee’s schedule.
