In Summary: access to the OR is limited, elective surgical volume is down, and an opportunity to watch high-quality surgical videos is of significant value to medical students going through clerkships, residents, and anyone else who would generally benefit from in-person surgery.
Logan Threet, AAS, CST, Director of Surgical Technology at Wichita State University discusses education resources for learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and recommends JOMI “… as a great tool for clinical and didactic students.”

On occasion, we get an inquiry along the lines of “Why are JOMI’s video-articles so long? Why don’t you make shorter videos? That would be so helpful!”

JOMI is going to the ACS Clinical Congress in San Diego. Continue reading JOMI Going to ACS
