RODRIGUEZ SOSA, Víctor Manuel et al. Experimental surgery club. Our experience with Latin American students of the pre doctorate. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2009, vol.8, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1729-519X.

In our center there have been implemented courses of early basic surgical abilities to the students of the first and second year of their careers, with satisfactory results. The arrival, at our center, of Latin American students for the pre doctorate preparation was a challenge for all the teaching departments, which created their clubs, and our department created the Club of experimental surgery. The initial inscription of our club was of 126 students, having three theoretical and practical confrontations and was programmed by cycles including six topics. The results were satisfactory and amazing from the point of view of the acquisition of knowledge in surgical procedures as in the development of the required abilities. The Club was important in orienting the students to decide to follow up a surgical residency once graduated and for others, to quit the idea. Besides, it allowed increasing the level of preparation of students for the successful development of any other investigative project which needed a surgical technique and also in their stay in E.R. and patient's care.
