Background: New models of undergraduate teaching are needed alongside advances in surgery. Boot camps are in-training postgraduate courses combining simulation-based practice with other educational methods to enhance learning and preparation for individuals entering new clinical roles. We piloted and introduced a 1-day intensive learning experience (“surgical basecamp”) to ease the transition of medical students commencing our clinical surgery module to maximise their subsequent learning opportunity, ease the transition and engage staff/student relationship.
