Silver Scalpel Award

The Silver Scalpel Award is given annually to a Belgian surgeon who has been voted the best teacher that year by the Belgian surgical trainees. The trophy is awarded at the Belgian Surgical Week after an exciting vote via this website. Each BAST member is entitled to one vote per year to hopefully showcase their favorite surgical trainer with a trophy to be proud of.
