Description
The Basic Surgical Skills Course is arranged in Modules (Fourteen Modules in all). Each module lasts at least two weeks and when completed is awarded a separate certificate of participation. This gives each module a semi-independent status, so each participant can have the personal freedom to construct their own lifelong learning plan, and can, when used carefully, permit them to improve their surgical career levels with a minimum of disruption to their personal life.
The interesting thing about this course is that you can study at your own pace and convenience.
