THIS IS SPARTA!

It is the mission of this Surgical Physician and Resident Training Area to enhance knowledge, encourage growth, and enrich the educational experience of our students, while developing surgical skill techniques ultimately yielding positive patient outcomes.

The purpose of this surgical skills laboratory is to serve as a teaching tool for medical students, residents, faculty, and practicing surgeons of all subspecialty fields.  This lab will provide a setting in which learners of all levels may practice and hone their surgical skills.  Using cadaveric specimens allow participants a relaxed setting to strengthen their anatomic knowledge without putting actual patients at risk.
