The course is designed for students in their 4th to 6th year of study, who are interested in general surgery. The course is skill based, focused on hands-on training using models and simulators (see the schedule of individual blocks). The goal is to practically prepare students for entry into surgical fields, preferably general surgery. Students will acquire basic practical skills, enabling them to decide on wound treatment methods and perform the procedures. The students will learn fundamental surgical principles, procedures, and terminology.
Selection for the course is based on motivational letters submitted before the start of the academic year.
The course capacity is limited to 10 students.
The selection process will be announced to future 4th-6th year students via email in advance.
