Step into the operating room and experience the intensity, precision, and discipline of real surgical training! Are you an aspiring future surgeon or wondered what the operating room is really like? Are you inspired by the elegance and technical discipline necessary to perform life-saving procedures when it really counts? Does practical anatomy and physiology fascinate you? Then you might be a good fit for our in-depth “Technical Surgery Boot Camp” for motivated high-school and college students taught by a cardiothoracic, vascular, and general surgeon. This unique, cutting edge, one-of-a-kind 12-day program over 3 weeks will cover practical surgical technical skills in a way rarely, if ever, afforded to students. In the process, the basics of anatomy and physiology will be incorporated in practical and meaningful applications. The foundations of suturing and knot tying will then quickly be directly applied to simulated surgeries on the airway, gastrointestinal system, and vascular arenas. Each student will gain experience and practice with these and many other surgical techniques. The goal is for students to garner a wealth of practical knowledge which will be invaluable to their future careers as a surgeon, paramedic, nurse, OR tech, or any field of medicine they may choose. Fast-paced and not for the faint of heart. Students will gain knowledge and hands-on proficiency in the following specific surgical procedures: General Surgery - Tracheostomy - Cricothyroidostomy - Duodenal perforation repair with Graham Patch - Heinike-Mikulicz pyloroplasty - Nissen Fundoplication - Ivor Lewis Esophagogastrectomy - Billroth II Distal Gastrectomy-gastrojejunostomy - Appendectomy - Right Colon Resection and ilio-colic anastomosis - Left Colon Resection with colorectal anastomosis - Left Colon Resection with Hartmann procedure - End ileostomy vs. Loop Iliostomy - Laparoscopic/Endoscopic Surgery Vascular Surgery - Carrel Anastomosis (end-to-end or end-to-side) - Aortic Injury Repair with Satinsky Clamp - Repair Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm - Femoral-Popliteal Bypass - Carotid endarterectomy Gain rare hands-on skills and confidence that set you apart on your journey toward a career in medicine!
