Abstract
BackgroundForward surgical team (FST) is a highly mobile team for surgical missions in battlefield. FST training has been well held in many western countries. However, such training in Chinese army is far from satisfaction.Methods and ResultsRelying on Second Military Medical University and its affiliated hospitals, we are launching an entry-level training program for 5th grade students, in order to improve their understandings on basic concepts of FST, as well as their abilities to complete surgical missions on battlefield.ConclusionsIn this article, we are going to introduce our training facilities as well as our training methods in our training program.
Highlights
Forward surgical team (FST) is a 20- to 30-person medical unit that is highly mobile, which can perform surgical missions with relatively little need of outside support
Relying on Second Military Medical University and its affiliated hospitals, we are launching an entry-level training program for 5th grade students, in order to improve their understandings on basic concepts of FST, as well as their abilities to complete surgical missions on battlefield
World J Surg (2017) 41:2435–2443 such circumstances, we are trying to establish a new 30-day training program in military medical university for the 5th grade students, equals to the last year of the undergraduate program in Chinese medical education model, who have already finished and passed the theoretical courses of medicine and are with some basic surgical skills. Since these students would be deployed to different places of military medical services and chances are high that they will be selected for FST team in the future, the entry-level instructional program in this study is aimed at helping them understand basic concepts on FST, figure out the operating model and workflow, and master the fundamental treatment skills of war trauma
Summary
Relying on Second Military Medical University and its affiliated hospitals, we are launching an entry-level training program for 5th grade students, in order to improve their understandings on basic concepts of FST, as well as their abilities to complete surgical missions on battlefield. Conclusions In this article, we are going to introduce our training facilities as well as our training methods in our training program
