SELF-Training[edit | edit source]
Our team has conceived the Cardiac Surgical Skills Training Module to address the training of surgical correction of simple congenital heart defects, starting with surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). We believe that our model will allow surgeons to gain confidence and competence in performing the identification, dissection, closure, and complication management of PDAs within their home institutions.
