Looking forward to our first #virtualsurgicalskills session with Ankur Shukla. Live skills instruction, coaching and feedback! FutureVascSurgeons USF Vascular Surgery Murray Shames


I highly recommend the virtual vascular rotation from USF Vascular Surgery to anyone considering surgery or a sub-surgical specialty! We are learning a lot of valuable skills including dictations, preop and postop orders, and knot-tying to name a few! #MedEd #MedStudentTwitter

Episode 10: Needle Reloading! I've covered the most common needle reloading techniques. Looking forward to getting to this with our virtual AI. USF Vascular Surgery Mary Ottinger Murray Shames #MedTwitter #surgery #VascularSurgery #MedStudentTwitter youtu.be/X4mJaTWJx5Y
