El curso AO Trauma para Personal de Quirófano ha sido muy interesante


The AO Trauma Course – Basic Principles of Fracture Management for Operating Room Personnel (ORP) celebrated on 15-16 February 2016 in Melia Avenida de América Hotel (Madrid-Spain), has been highly valued by the participants. 

Five nurses composed the core group of faculties. During the course, surgeon faculties of surgeon AO Trauma course came   to ORP course helping with lectures, supporting in the workshops and participating in the discussion group without monopolizing the issues.
Faculties achieved a pleasant working environment transmitting unity and coordination. Elena Miguel and Paula Fernandez (chairpersons of this course) knew how to coordinate both students and teachers throughout the course.




At the end of this course, the participants agreed that the course had fully met their expectations:
  • ·      Their knowledge had increase with the lectures.
  • ·      During the practical exercises, they could improve their skills, performing the steps of several surgical techniques. They used real instruments and plastic bones to do the techniques.

  •    With the exchange of experiences and assessments made in the discussion groups, they have changed their attitudes in front of certain issues.




The results of the knowledge text, made the last day, showed us that we have managed to clarify and bring new knowledge to the participants.
