What’s in It for You?

You'll also refine your skills in surgical and medical patient management, including catheters, bandaging, fluid therapy, pain management and pathology.

 

We also offer weekly journal clubs, daily rounds, morbidity & mortality rounds, and continuing education opportunities to ensure you’re always learning and growing!
