The Academic Success Through Surgical Education and Training (ASSET) program (in conjunction with the Durham Nativity School) is conducting a Hands-On Surgical Skills Lab. Fifteen middle school students from the local Durham area will develop experience applying the surgical masks, shoe covers, scrubbing, surgical gowning, and gloving. Using swine paws, they will make skin incisions, suture the incisions, and observe the anatomy of different bone and tissue structures.
