MDR 905: Surgical Skills Elective

This elective offers the opportunity to learn and practice operative techniques in the Minimally Invasive Surgical Training and Education (MISTE) Center. Students will review assignments from classic texts in surgical technique as well as operative videos prior to performing the same skills in high-fidelity simulation. Emphasis will be placed on open surgical skills and emergency procedures. The goal of this elective is for students to arrive to surgical residency with operative skills, experience, and confidence that exceeds expectations for their level of training.
