Improvement of anatomical knowledge and surgical skills in head and neck region - An interdisciplinary hands-on course for clinical students

摘要

Introduction: Anatomical knowledge and manual skills are required for every surgical procedure. During the regular study the students only have few opportunities to practice their surgical skills actively. To improve this situation, an interdisciplinary hands-on-course for head and neck anatomy and surgery has been set up at the RWTH Aachen University.
