Anatomy of Surgical Exposure (General Surgery)

Join us for three days of hands-on training, supervised by experienced surgical consultants at the Anatomy of Surgical Exposure program, delivered by James Cook University (JCU) in association with The Cairns Surgical Society and Northern Queensland Regional Training Hubs.
This cadaver-based dissection course instructs surgical trainees and junior surgeons in the techniques of exposure commonly used in open surgical operations. It will be held in the modern anatomy laboratories at the JCU Cairns Smithfield campus, under the supervision of experienced surgeons.
This is not primarily an anatomy teaching course; therefore a high degree of anatomical knowledge will be required for successful completion and candidates will be expected to perform procedures. A manual will be available to all registrants for pre-reading.
The curriculum will focus on open surgery. Candidates will be assisted with dissections and assessed on technical ability (knot tying, suture ligation, dissection and anastomosis), anatomical knowledge, and teamwork. The assessments will inform an individual de-briefing exercise at the end of the course. A certificate of completion will be issued at the conclusion of the course.
Set in tropical Far North Queensland, why not make it into a holiday and explore the many natural wonders surrounding our very unique part of the world.
