Surgical Skills Laboratory (SSL)

The SSL serves as a training ground for diverse medical professionals to hone their surgical skills. 

Our Facility

The Surgical Skills Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility where a variety of medical skills and procedures such as laparoscopy, arthroscopy, endoscopy and microsurgery are practiced by surgical residents in the 18 accredited surgical residency programs. 

This facility allows video recording sessions which provides instructors and students the opportunity to review and discuss procedures as well as monitor the progress of trainees from a distance. The ability to record these sessions will also allow faculty to develop research programs designed to evaluate new techniques, new equipment and new teaching methods. Furthermore, trainees will be able to develop their own 'portfolio' of work; performance videos of simulated surgical procedures.
