Enhanced Surgical Skills Training

 

Original Presentation Date: 8/27/2020

Facilitator Lesson Plan

The Enhanced Surgical Skills Teaching Kit contains all you need to host your own team-based active-learning event featuring work by Dave Kermode, DO, and Joel Wells, DO, from Wayne County Hospital in Corydon, Iowa.

Rural physicians are required to adapt their scope of practice to the community they serve. As a family physician, this may involve certain surgical skills such as cesarean sections. This Grand Rounds will address options for training specific to your local community and steps on how to prepare for that eventuality. This session will provide a framework for tailoring your education and training as you prepare for practice in a rural community.

NOTES: This kit includes a discussion among physicians in the US and Canada who attended the original Grand Rounds session and could be used in addition to the main presentation. Having a family physician present for the in-session activity will enhance the learning experience for your group. We anticipate these learning materials to be relevant until 2025.
