A new trauma surgery course effectively improved general surgeons' confidence in managing traumatic injuries. The didactic training utilized lectures and simulated operations, proving beneficial for surgical education.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Trauma Management
  • Medical Didactics

Background:

  • Decreased surgeon confidence in managing trauma due to fewer penetrating injuries and increased non-operative blunt trauma management.
  • Need for innovative didactic tools to enhance surgical skills in trauma care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Corso di Chirurgia del Politrauma (Trauma Surgery Course) as a novel model for teaching operative trauma techniques.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of this simulated training course.

Main Methods:

  • A two-day course incorporating theoretical lectures and hands-on practical sessions using swine models.
  • Data collection and analysis from the initial 126 course participants.

Main Results:

  • All 126 general surgeons reported the course as an effective method for enhancing their knowledge of trauma surgical treatment.
  • Participants found the simulated operative situations valuable for skill development.

Conclusions:

  • A two-day trauma surgery course with lectures and realistic simulations serves as an effective model for surgical training.
  • Such courses can significantly improve surgeons' confidence in managing trauma patients.
  • Collaboration among course organizers can standardize and enhance trauma surgery training initiatives.
