This joint program is available through the ACS Division of Education and can be accessed on the ACS website. It provides faculty with a national curriculum that offers medical students:  \n• Structured, uniform, and consistent learning experiences relating to the essential surgical skills needed by all physicians  \n• A solid foundation for further training The simulation-based modules can be used to teach clinical skills ranging from taking a history and conducting a physical examination to performing basic surgical procedures. Topics are aligned with the year during which they are most commonly taught.  \nACS/ASE MEDICAL STUDENT  \nSIMULATION-BASED SURGICAL SKILLS CURRICULUM  \nCONTENT INCLUDES:  \n\n| Y EAR 1 | Module 1: | Acute Bleeding—Packing and Tourniquet |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Module 2: | Abdominal Exam |\n|  | Module 3: | Basic Vascular Exam |\n|  | Module 4: | Breast Exam |\n|  | Module 5: | Digital Rectal Exam |\n|  | Module 6: | Female Pelvic Exam |\n|  | Module 7: | Male Groin and Genital Exam |\n|  | Module 8: | Universal Precautions |\n|  | Module 9: | Venipuncture and Peripheral IV |\n| Y EAR 2 | Module 1: | Basic Airway Management |\n|  | Module 2: | Communication—History and Physical and Case Presentation |\n|  | Module 3: | Foley Bladder Catheterization |\n|  | Module 4: | Intermediate Vascular Exam |\n|  | Module 5: | Nasogastric Tubes |\n|  | Module 6: | Sterile Technique—Gloving and Gowning |\n|  | Module 7: | Surgical Drains—Care and Removal |\n|  | Module 8: | Wounds—Basic Principles |\n| Y EAR 3 | Module 1: | Arterial Puncture and Blood Gas |\n|  | Module 2: | Basic Gastric Tube Placement and Care |\n|  | Module 3: | Basic Knot Tying |\n|  | Module 4: | Basic Splinting—A Universal Physician’s Skill |\n|  | Module 5: | Basic Stoma Care |\n|  | Module 6: | Basic Suturing |\n|  | Module 7: | Central Venous Line Insertion |\n|  | Module 8: | Communication—During Codes and Safe and Effective Handoffs |\n|  | Module 9: | Intermediate Airway |\n|  | Module 10: | Intraosseous IV |\n|  | Module 11: | Local Anesthetics |\n|  | Module 12: | Lumps and Bumps |\n\n\n| Y EAR 3 | Module 13: | Paracentesis |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Module 14: | Thoracentesis |\n|  | Module 15: | Ultrasound Basics |\n| Y EAR 4 | Module 1: | Organ-Specific Ultrasound Diagnosis |\n\nTAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE FEATURES  \nThe curriculum modules are self-contained and can be used as free-standing learning activities or in a stepwise fashion as part of the entire curriculum.
