Department of Surgery Day: Surgical Skills and Topics for Primary Care. Image of two pairs of white gloved surgeons' hands holding surgical tools while performing surgery in an operating room. Medical tools are blurred in the foreground.

Join the Department of Surgery at the Quality Inn & Conference Centre for a new full-day program filled with various surgical topics and skills for primary care practitioners!

The program will begin with sessions that will explore a range of topics from the management of skin lesions to assessment strategies and evidence-based approaches for thyroid conditions, the shoulder, common cervical spine complaints, refractory GERD, dysphagia, hernias and mitral valve dysfunction.

The sessions will be followed by a hands-on carousel during which attendees will practice various surgery-based skills and integrate feedback from surgeon-coaches. Carousel topics include:

Plastic Surgery/ENT: Biopsy of skin lesions: when to shave, punch or perform an incisional vs. excisional biopsy
Orthopedic Surgery: "What to Inject When You're Injecting": A Framework for Deciding When, What and for Whom to Consider Knee Injections
Neurosurgery: Hands on Practice of a Neurological Exam for Radiculopathy and Cervical Myelopathy
General Surgery: Assessment of a Hernia / Abdomen Exam for Common Complaints

Please note that back-up session recordings will be available for learners who are unable to attend an in-person program due to health or emergency issues.

Please note: Registration will NOT be available at the door on October 26.
