pubmed-article:113744 | pubmed:abstractText | Instruction in basic surgical techniques with practical experience is often minimized in the modern, compressed medical curriculum. The otorlaryngologist can fulfill a major need in this area by presenting instruction in these techniques with emphasis on their application to the face. The authors have developed a course which has been refined through the experiences of over 100 medical students at the University of Colorado Medical Center and has been uniformly well received by students and administration. The outline of the didactic presentation and organization of the practicum is presented. | lld:pubmed |
