The aim of the course is to improve microsurgical skills on challenging cases in cataract surgery for advanced trainees on Eyesi surgical cataract simulator.

As an international role-player focusing on healthcare in Africa, the vision of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Pretoria is to maintain health standards through quality education, research and community service. Since its inception, it has grown to be one of the largest health training institutions in the country and boasts an undergraduate and postgraduate student corps of over 6 000.

Through the simulator's operating room microscope trainees see the virtual surgical field in stereo and high resolution while operating with life-like surgical instruments. The highly realistic simulation of interaction with tissue in real-time increases trainees’ surgical experience without risk for patients.

The Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MB ChB) degree is commonly referred to as the 'medical degree'. School leavers enrol at Otago for the common Health Sciences First Year course and then apply for admission to second year medicine. Graduates may also apply for admission at second year. If successful, students will complete a further five years, then after graduation work for another year under probation in order to gain general registration. There is a wide range of specialisation available in the public and private sectors, involving research, academic medicine, public health, clinical medicine and other areas. Specialties include Cardiology, Oncology, Pediatrics, Psychological Medicine, Surgery, Pathology, Public Health, General Practice and many others. Most doctors complete postgraduate training in their chosen specialty.

The DMed degree is conferred by virtue of a thesis and, if the Dean deems it necessary, an examination on the field of study of the thesis.

This master's degree provides professional and research training, therefore students acquire a framework for their specialization, and are introduced to developing their scientific and research skills, in order to fully develop their podiatric competences.

Southern Technical College’s Associate’s Degree in Medical Assisting can help you prepare for a healthcare field career.

What are the benefits of having an Associate Degree in Medical Assisting rather than just a diploma? There are two major benefits, aside from an expectation of a higher salary.

The Medical Assisting Technology program prepares individuals, under the supervision of physicians, to provide medical office administrative services and perform clinical duties including patient intake and care, routine diagnostic and recording procedures, pre-examination and examination assistance, and administration medications and first aid.

Surgical Technologists (also called surgical techs, operating room technicians, and OR techs) assist in surgical operations, preparing operating rooms and assisting surgeons, nurses, and physicians before and during surgical procedures.

If you’d like to be on the front lines of healthcare, responding to both patients and medical workers' needs, consider taking the Medical Assisting Program at Sacramento Ultrasound Institute.

The objective of the Surgical Technology degree is to offer the student an opportunity to become an integral member of the surgical team as well as an allied health professional. This program will utilize a combination of classroom, lab, and clinical experiences to facilitate student learning. Multiple teaching delivery methods will cover concepts such as; the principles of asepsis, the application of sterile technique, and surgical pharmacology. Students will demonstrate competency knowledge of perioperative case management prior to entering a clinical internship. The clinical experience will continue the education of the student by offering hands-on surgical patient care through multiple surgical service specialties. Students will work under the auspice of the surgeon as well as the surgical team to gain the scrub experience required for eligibility to sit for the national CST (Certified Surgical Technologist exam) credentialing exam offered through the NBSTSA (National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting).

A vital link inpatient care. A world of opportunity. Doctors and clinical staff rely on medical assistants to support the entire patient experience.

As a surgical technologist and surgical assistant, you will be working as an essential member of the surgical team consisting of surgeons, nurses, and anaesthesia. You will learn how to provide surgeons with the instruments and equipment necessary to perform surgery, assist the surgeon during the procedure.

Do you enjoy working with other people as a valued member of a team? Are you fascinated with medicine and health? Are you detail-oriented and observant? If so, Medical Assistant training may be right for you.
