For future doctors

Prepping for Surgery

A two-hour, hands-on introduction to clinical practice, and a good way to find out whether medicine is right for you. You work through three parts:

  1. The doctor’s mindset: the ethics, empathy, communication and responsibilities that define great doctors.

  2. Surgical hand preparation: hand hygiene, infection control and surgical scrubbing.

  3. Hands-on suturing: basic suturing and surgical techniques under expert guidance.

Everyone leaves with a certificate of participation.
