Surgical Foundations | R2 / R3 General Surgery | R4 / R5 General Surgery | Obstetrics / Gynecology | Urology
Different surgical specialties use Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) to varying degrees. The Surgical Foundations program allows residents from various specialties to grasp MIS fundamentals.
The program offers lectures, classroom-based instruction and live surgical simulations:
The lab fidelity is enhanced by expecting adherence to lab regulations and Entrusted Professional Activities (EPA) competencies.
The R2-R3 general surgery MIS program allows residents to move their MIS cognitive and psychomotor competencies from the novice level to the beginner and intermediate level.
The program offers lectures and classroom-based instruction and live surgical simulations. The classroom-based sessions allow residents to gain familiarity with the basic to intermediate MIS lecture topics and develop surgical psychomotor competencies in preparation for surgical simulation. The surgical simulations build upon the classroom sessions by allowing residents to set up for surgery practice psychomotor competencies in a live surgical simulation. The lab fidelity is enhanced by expecting adherence to lab regulations and EPA competencies.
The R4-R5 general surgery MIS program allows residents to move from their MIS cognitive and psychomotor competencies from the intermediate to the expert level.
The program offers lectures and live surgical simulations. The lectures allow residents to gain familiarity with advanced MIS lecture topics. The surgical simulations build upon the classroom sessions by allowing residents to set up for surgery, practice psychomotor competencies in a live surgical simulation. The lab fidelity is enhanced by expecting adherence to lab regulations and EPA competencies.
The CASES funded O&G labs support R2-R5’s. This MIS program allows residents to refine their MIS cognitive and psychomotor competencies from novice to expert level during 4 years of labs. The program offers live surgical simulations in various O&G procedures. The lab fidelity is enhanced by expecting adherence to lab regulations and EPA competencies.
The CASES funded Urology labs support R2-R5’s. This MIS program allows residents to refine their MIS cognitive and psychomotor competencies from the novice to the expert level during 4 years of labs. The program offers live surgical simulations in various urology procedures. The lab fidelity is enhanced by expecting adherence to lab regulations and EPA competencies.
