Abstract

A formal training program in wound repair entitled 'Scientific Basis of Wound Closure Techniques' has been developed and is accredited by the Dannemiller Memorial Educational Foundation. This course is now available at no cost to medical schools, residencies, and continuing education programs for graduate physicians. A manual with its complementing videotape allow the course participant to gain the necessary psychomotor skills to repair wounds. Evaluation of the course taken by third-year medical students and first-year residents demonstrates a high level of satisfaction. After instituting the course, there was a noticeable change in the types of barriers, instruments, and wound closure techniques practiced in our emergency department.
