Surgical skills

Suturing is a clinical skill, and it takes time and deliberate practice to learn and master. Instrument handling and knot-tying techniques should be perfected while training with medical models. Patients are for treatment – not for practice.

In the courses on Surgical Skills, we cover all the basics of wound closure and show you how to train at home in a safe, dry environment.
