Skills Labs
- General surgery residents participate in laparoscopy labs using FLS box trainers and FES with a simulator in preparation for certification. Depending on the level of education, the attending preceptor will review all aspects from safety and patient positioning to performing procedures.
- The residents have an opportunity to gain robotics skills while at Main Campus.
- Throughout the academic year the residents are able to develop many labs with the assistance of the skills lab coordinator. They vary depending on the interest and need of the residents.
- The senior residents are also called upon to assist with the medical student skills labs, which gives them the experience to develop a program and teach.
