Foundation Skills for Surgical Educators

This is a new course directed at facilitating the education and training of surgical trainees and will establish the basic standards expected of our surgical educators within the College. This one day free course will provide an opportunity for participants to identify their own personal strengths and weaknesses as an educator and explore how they are likely to influence their learners and the learning environment. The course will further knowledge and skills in teaching and learning concepts and look at how these principles can be applied into the participant's own teaching context.

Key Learning Objectives

•Recognise the importance of educational theory and how it translates into practice

•Consider how to provide effective teaching, learning and assessment in different clinical settings

•Identify how to plan learning by using effective teaching, learning and assessment strategies

Pulse Oximetry in Children Use and Interpretation Course

A very helpful course for the management of children with Sleep Disordered Breathing. The use of pulse oximetry is highlighted in the NZ Guidelines on the Management of Sleep Disordered Breathing in Children.

With the absence of easy access to full Paediatric Sleep Studies, most of us in NZ are forced to rely on Pulse Oximetry for help with the management of children with possible OSA.

The course will be practical, learning how to choose the correct machine and how to set it up so that results can be reliably interpreted. We will be given various oximetry printouts and learn how to interpret the results.

Head & Neck Ultrasound Workshop

Ultrasound is now available in such small portable machinery that Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) seems inevitable for most clinicians.  This is a valuable tool in the Head and Neck setting with the nonspecific nature of neck masses on clinical examination.  This workshop will provide a basic understanding of the ultrasound process and will hopefully encourage the participant to delve deeper, like considering a Diploma of Diagnostic Ultrasound to assist with the use of this tool in the management of the Head and Neck patient

Learning aims:

1) introduction to the basics of the US physics (its advantages and limitations)

2) learn more about US anatomy and pathology of head and neck, in particular about the thyroid gland, and

3) get a hands-on experience with some tips to get the most out of performing an US of the head and neck
