The CNPRC surgery department maintains two fully integrated and operating arenas with state of the art monitoring equipment, technology and anesthesia. Our surgery suite accommodates surgical teams with very different backgrounds and expertise, some members of the teams are familiar with maintaining a sterile field (surgeon, surgeon assistant), while others have none or minimal experience of a surgical room (scientist, guest, engineer).

To ascertain that the entire surgical team complies and adheres to our technique and policies to protect themselves and the patient, we have created a basic, flexible, comprehensive training program. The first module “Surgical department training” is mandatory and should be renewed yearly for any personnel that want to be part of the surgical team. The second module “Suture technique” is optional and mainly discuss suture pattern and technique.

The CNPRC surgery department is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to our patients, and maintaining the sterile field in surgery is the responsibility of every person with access to the surgical suite.

If you have any questions or problems with the module or evaluation please email: mjlemoy@ucdavis.edu

Enjoy!
