1. The student’s progress is monitored throughout the semester and the final grade is summed-up by the student’s overall image throughout the course of teaching and practical course.

An evaluation is also being carried out:

• Throught courses with questions and clinical scenarios
• By laboratory workout – evaluation:
• model development
• the use of microsurgical, surgical and microscope tools
• wound suturing techniques

The course is a basic elective course and aims to familiarize students with surgical procedures of the extremities, basic management principles and first aid for injuries of the extremities through:

A. Targeted lectures

B. Acquisition of skills with practical training in anatomy and microsurgery laboratories.

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:

• Have an understanding of the extremity injuries and first aid
• To be familiar with the use of surgical instruments and surgical microscopes
• To be familiar with basic trauma suturing techniques
