About this course
This hands-on lab course follows the diagnosis and treatment pathway of a surgical patient from admission to discharge. Through the use of virtual reality (VR) alongside traditional approaches, you will learn about relevant anatomy and physiology, as well as how to perform a basic ultrasound evaluation and how to diagnose common CT pathologies. Furthermore, you will learn basic surgical skills and interventions to perform surgical procedures with the use of laparoscopic simulators.
