Remote Hands-on Laparoscopic Suturing Workshop
December 6, 2020
Virtual Zoom Session
10:00 am - 7:00 pm EDT
LIMIT 10 SPOTS
Eligible for ABOG MOC IV credits

This remote hands-on laparoscopic surgical skills training course is designed to provide robust curriculum leveraging the highest fidelity and most engaging surgical simulation.  The “All-hands-on All-the-time” course format is based on the validated surgical educational principle of “supervised deliberate practice”.  As well, the course teaches general surgical skill and procedure-specific technique with then application in “reiterative fashion to progressively more challenging and complex surgical simulations.” It is designed to provide transformative surgical skill advancement.

The equipment, while complex, has been developed to provide “plug and play” utility.  All the necessary equipment is delivered to individual attendees with setup and breakdown remotely guided and supervised. Day-of-course tech monitoring and help is provided to promote attendee focus on training: attendees open the course, train intensively, and pack the course away for return.
