Why should new Physician Assistants to the surgical suite and even those wishing to shine during while still in school during their surgical rotations register for one of our 3 day SutureStarXpress (only $1495) or 6 day SutureStar (only $2495) Workshops?

Many new Physician Assistants want to start a career in surgery but lack the skills and experience to compete for this desired position at the table. Some have been hired by surgeons' groups only to be quickly let go for 'someone with experience.'

The role of surgical assistant is not only a desirable one, but one that requires unique specialized training to insure the best patient outcomes. With most PA programs only offering about five weeks of rotations in the OR where most students had very little opportunity to learn advanced skills such as suturing, you need this kind of hands-on training!

The 6 day SutureStar (SS) and 3 day SutureStarXpress (XP) Workshops were designed to help practitioners to become comfortable with everything from operating room fundamentals to mastering the most difficult wound closure and first assisting techniques. And, our Workshops have isolated the surgical skills you need to perform in surgery like an experienced first assistant regardless of your specialty. You will be performing actual surgical procedures on realistic, simulated human patients. We have recreated the human anatomy with the meticulous detail required to perform surgical procedures step-by-step. You’ll be able to take your time and master your new skills in a pressure-free, risk-free, learning environment. As a matter of fact, we guarantee that you will master the intricate techniques of the nation’s top first assistants and surgeons or we will retrain you free of charge. Lastly, both Workshop options will include a 12 month subscription to the AORN Video Library series (seen on our RNFA.org site) for OR practitioners  (as of July 2009, this elite online series would cost thousands of dollars if all lessons purchased individually through the distributor) free of charge.

All students receive the following Suture & Tying Lab and the AORN Video Library 12 month subscription previous to their workshop FREE with registration:

  • 23 basic to advanced wound closure lessons for home study to prepare you for your Workshop

  • You will receive a one year, online subscription to the AORN Video library series containing 38 videos on OR fundamentals FREE.
