The multifaceted management planning, meticulous surgical techniques involved in a specialty like paediatric surgery captivate me and I am currently excited and keen to continue this phase of my development into a highly qualified paediatric surgeon. I aim to continue my commitment in teaching and so obtained a Postgraduate certificate in medical education. I foresee myself as a consultant paediatric surgeon with special interest in laparoscopy, hepatobiliary surgery and urology.
