Course Curriculum - 1st ESMSC
Dear friends and colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you in Athens for the “1st Essential Sklills in the Management of Surgical Cases - ESMSC” course which takes place in the Experimental - Research Center ELPEN between 10 and 11 November 2014. This initiative was purely designed for medical students at clinical year stage aiming to familiarise them with the everyday systematic approach of a surgical patient. ESMSC is an international course and it is supported by the active participation of the Scientific Society of Hellenic Medical Students who will run the promotion of the course around the 7 medical schools and liaise with the local surgical faculty. The Experimental - Research Centre ELPEN will support this innovative initiative via actively being involved in the design of the course and providing all the equipment that would be needed to reach the highest standards of an international course. The 1st ESMSC will be held as as a satellite symposium of the 29th Panhellenic Surgical Conference and it is supported by the Hellenic Surgical Society. We have designed a brand new course based on all basic surgical specialties which combines the basic sciences’ background along with the clinical aspect of the most common surgical cases. Along with the ABCDE surgical principles our candidates will enjoy some hands-on experience practicing on basic surgical skills which would be required at the level of a junior trainee. We hope that this unique perception will contribute to the establishment of active and systematic approach of every surgical case. A relevant brand new manual will support the read throughout the course and contribute towards the solidarity of the knowledge acquired. We would like to thank in advance the Surgical Faculty from the 7 Medical Schools along with the Hellenic Surgical Society and all our International invited faculty who will support our effort and we do really appreciate their input towards the intrduction of a brand new course. We welcome all applicants to submit their cv and we look forward to welcome you in Athens. With kind regards,
the course designers
