Three-Part Surgical Skills Courses at Clinical Congress 2022 Will Keep Learners Engaged

Clinical Congress 2022 will offer attendees 17 Surgical Skills Courses, incorporating best practices in education and training and using a three-part longitudinal approach.

Part 1 coursework made available a few weeks before the Clinical Congress. Part 2 will feature a hands-on skills lab. Part 3 will consist of a live Zoom panel discussion several weeks after the Clinical Congress. This multipart approach will enable learning activities to be spaced over an extended period to promote reflection, application, and retention of course content, as well as to provide participants with more opportunities to interact with the course faculty.
