Kolb's learning cycle involves four phases: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. This learning is ensured through deliberate practice (a series of repetitions under evaluative and feedback supervision that refines an exercise, with measurable and improvable objectives). The sum of knowledge, skills, communication abilities, and teamwork defines a well-rounded and high-quality surgeon.
The classic Halstedian model of supervised learning by an experienced tutor, based on "seeing a procedure, then doing it, and then teaching it," is still valid. Simulation complements this classic model to more effectively overcome the well-known learning curve.
Today, there is an urgent need to know how to treat trauma patients, as the frequency of traumatic events is constantly increasing: traffic accidents, stab and gunshot wounds, blunt force trauma, and mass casualty incidents or disasters. For this reason, the University of Piura, committed to healthcare education in the country, wishes to offer a workshop course to help prepare undergraduate and graduate students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to manage all types of traumatic injuries in both pre-hospital and hospital settings.
Medical specialists in general surgery, doctors dedicated to emergency and trauma surgery, and residents in the specialty of general surgery.
Doctors working as surgical assistants with more than 2 years of experience interested in the course.
Upon completion of the training process, the graduate is expected to acquire the following competencies:
- Acquire surgical skills and abilities in the treatment of polytrauma patients.
- Internalize an order of evaluation and management of trauma pathology according to priorities.
- Integrate technical and cognitive skills with the soft skills of crisis resource management.
