SET4 is a compulsory research year to provide the necessary skills and experience to critically appraise new trends in surgery and contribute to the development, dissemination, application and translation of new medical knowledge and practices.

In addition to the compulsory research year, trainees must prepare a paper and present at the Society Annual Scientific Meeting prior to the end of SET5.
