title: The other option in research.
abstract: As surgery advances rapidly, so the need for a more critical evaluation of new developments becomes more urgent. This is most likely to be developed in the research environment. However, a well conducted and published MSc research project will earn more points in the SpR short-listing process than a poorly conducted and unpublishable two year research study that is unable to generate a thesis leading to a higher degree.
