About the Course
Dr. Lenworth Jacobs, of the University of
Connecticut School of Medicine and Hartford
Hospital Trauma Program developed the
Advanced Trauma Operative Management
Course. It was established in 1998 out of a
demonstrated need for the interactive
exchange of knowledge regarding operative
procedures in the management of trauma.
The course consists of six 30-minute lectures
followed by a 3-hour lab session where the
student will manage fourteen different injuries.
The lab session is unique in that there is a 1:1
student to instructor ratio. At the conclusion
of the lab, the students must complete postcourse evaluations and surveys via the
Internet.
