Upgrading Your Surgical Skills through Preceptorship (PtS)
This session has been identified and designated as Credit to Address Regulatory Mandate for Patient Safety. Learn more about state regulatory mandates.
Session Description
There is a need for surgeons to learn operations and new technologies introduced after their surgery training. Failure to participate in Continuing Medical Education affects patient safety, referrals to the surgeon’s practice, and may render the surgeon obsolete. Options for learning include Postgraduate Courses, industry-sponsored courses, simulation training, and direct surgical observation. A newer option is a preceptorship program. A preceptorship includes didactic education, supervised hands-on performance, and use of technologies. This program is typically sponsored by a hospital or academic center, often in another state. The panel session will review the outcomes of traditional learning experiences in the past, examples of newer operations and technologies to be learned, the role of preceptorships, and a review of how to assess and upgrade your surgical skills.
