BEST PRACTICE OF DEPARTMENT-

BEDSIDE PREOPERATIVE PLANNING SESSIONS

OBJECTIVES

To promote gradual resident independence in all areas of competency with appropriate supervision by consultant for planning the different options available for patients.
CONTEXT- The educational priority and "activity value for a trainee always take precedence over faculty seniority or convenience.

THE PRACTICE

In view of patient benefit & for students learning, we conduct planning sessions in the evening prior to the surgery.
Here the students make the surgical planning. Eg marks the different flaps & cuts the different flap designs/patterns.
In this way we are able to decide the best available surgical plan for the patients.
