This innovative course will introduce general practitioners to a variety of commonly performed orthopedic and soft tissue surgical procedures. From the very first cut to the last stitch, participants will gain valuable experience practicing techniques on cadavers under the guidance of ACVS certified instructors. We will focus on common orthopedic procedures of the hip and stifle and review pertinent anatomy and surgical approaches. Soft tissue procedures will include amputation of limbs, digits, and tails, basic skin reconstruction procedures, suturing techniques, and emergency procedures such as temporary tracheostomy and chest tube placement.

Hands-on training led by expert instructors equals enhanced proficiency and improved surgery skills. Build your confidence in performing procedures with accuracy and efficiency:

  • Learn appropriate patient selection for certain orthopedic and soft tissue surgical procedures
  • Gain a detailed understanding of pertinent regional surgical anatomy
  • Develop proficiency and confidence in surgical techniques through hands-on practice in the lab
  • Learn to apply newly acquired skills directly into clinical practice
