Through a generous grant from Arthrex and additional financial support from Barton Health, we were able to create a new Surgical Skills Lab at the Zephyr Cove location. It can accommodate ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ labs.
Our monthly labs rotate thru all orthopedic body parts with a different attending leading each lab. The three major learning objectives are:
- basic anatomy
- surgical landmarks and approaches
- experimental techniques
We invite physical therapists, medical students and members of the local high school’s sports medicine program. Several times a year, we have a formal cadaver lab at the Lake Tahoe Surgery Center sponsored by Smith and Nephew.
