MEDR930ASeminars and Conferences
Seminars and conferences represent both a learning and assessment tool knowing that the theoretical education of the resident remains mostly a personal work that begins with reading books and articles, preparing conferences and is ongoing with continuing medical education and self­learning (erudition). During development, the “apprentice doctors” must initially attend and listen to their elders, then submit records to the staff, then present lectures to peers and seniors locally (hospital) and in a local congress and finally in an international congress. In parallel and concerning teaching, it begins with clinical teaching to the youngest and finishes during university courses.

Mission

The mission of the orthopedic surgery residency training program is to provide the trainees with the knowledge, clinical and surgical skills in all areas of orthopedic surgery necessary for either academic or private practice at the highest possible level of competence, and all of this in line with the highest standards of ethics towards patients and collaborators.

Program Educational Objectives

1. Graduates must use their basic and clinical knowledge acquired during the specialization path in order to support and treat the patient within his specialty but without forgetting his skills in general practice.
2. Must support the patient psychologically and morally, and the family and entourage for better therapeutic compliance.
3. Must improve their knowledge and skills in parallel to the new technological discoveries and put them to the service of patients according to the rules of professionalism and ethics.
4. Have to practice their profession in accordance with the principles of quality, in particular the principles of efficiency and equity.
5. Must share their knowledge and promote prevention principles and other public health principles.

Program Outcomes

At the end of the program, the young orthopedic surgeons will:
a. Master the basic knowledge and clinical knowledge of the specialty in order to analyze the clinical situation, to propose a course of action and the appropriate treatment and be ready to act quickly in urgent cases.
b. Acquire deep knowledge in other specialties (general surgery, vascular surgery and neurosurgery) in order to better perform their practice.
c. Be able to take charge of a patient and provide moral and psychological support to the patient and entourage.
d. Be prepared to use new knowledge and new techniques to improve their practice.
e. Master the gestures and techniques proper to the specialty (tools, materials, surgery, cast) and apply them according to the rules of professionalism and ethics (to be defined).
f. Collaborate with other clinical or paraclinical specialists, respecting the principle of efficiency and in the best interest of the patient.
g. Share their knowledge with peers, students and other healthcare professionals.
