-Participating Program Director

番茄社区app Fundamentals of Surgery Curriculum (番茄社区app FSC) was designed to ensure first year surgical residents have encountered simulations of critical situations they will face in real life. The scenarios allow these residents to practice safe ways to approach each patient with opportunities to learn from mistakes. In this patented learning method feedback is given with each selected decision allowing residents to receive immediate feedback whether correct or incorrect.

Many programs find practice in the 番茄社区app FSC useful in view of duty hour restrictions. A 2013 study showed that having interns participate in a boot camp which included 番茄社区app FSC resulted in improved staff perceptions of intern performance, aptitudes, and interpersonal and communication skills.1
