SUR 1090 - Operating Room Skills Seminar


Credits: 4

The seminar provides the students with the opportunity to practice with supervision, the skills, techniques, standards, and principles that are taught in SUR 1110 . This course prepares students for the clinical experience by teaching them the care and handling of surgical supplies, instruments, suture materials, and surgical drapes using hands on skills, simulation, and mock surgery for laparotomy and laparoscopic procedures. This seminar is not only an introduction to the operating room environment but includes a 5- week clinical rotation. After passing the seminar skills competencies, students will have a clinical rotation as a member of the surgical team under direct supervision. The rotation gives the student the opportunity to build on didactic and clinical skills learned in the seminar. It focuses on minimally complex and specialty surgical procedures that take place in a clinical facility. This rotation is 24 hours per week over the last 5 weeks of the course
