The society runs a A Friday Night Trauma programme, which gives members the opportunity to gain insight regarding the life-or-death nature of trauma surgery. This program was introduced by the first patron of Surg Soc, Professor Del Kahn, and has been a huge success with places usually filling up within the first 10 seconds of entries opening. Hosted at the Groote Schuur trauma unit (C15) this crazy night provides students with an exposure to the realities of the South African healthcare context in a way that few few other experiences can.
