Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET) Course (Apr 15, 2024)

Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET) Course is organized by USF Health’s Office of Continuing Professional Development (OCPD) and will be held on Apr 15, 2024 at USF Health CAMLS, Tampa, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
The course provides an overview of key surgical exposures in five key anatomic areas: neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis, extremities, upper and lower. A one day cadaver-based course follows this modular, body region approach. Each section begins with a short case-based overview, followed by a hands-on exposure performed by students under the guidance of faculty. The student to faculty ratio is low, allowing extensive faculty guidance and interaction with students. The student assesses his or her ability to perform each exposure independently and is evaluated on knowledge, and technical skills.

Learning Objectives:
As a result of participating in this activity, the physician will be able to:
• Apply knowledge of key anatomical exposures for the care of acutely injured surgical patients.
• Demonstrate technical ability to expose important structures that may require acute surgical intervention to save life or limb.
• Perform anatomic exposures independently.
