This document outlines the curriculum for PGY1 surgical skills training at Loma Linda University, based on evaluations from 2011-2012. The program focuses on foundational skills, encompassing four modules: soft tissue handling, power tool operation, bone handling, and basic arthroscopy. Each module includes hands-on experience with materials like fresh pork belly and sawbones, supervised by faculty. Feedback from participants highlighted the course's effectiveness, and suggestions for future improvements emphasize expanding modules and refining assessments to better prepare residents for surgical practice.
