swimchik04 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I just got hired for an ortho job that will be 100% first assisting. I have spent the last 3 years as a hospitalist in CV surgery (no OR time) and the 2 years prior to that in Family Medicine. Needless to say, I will have some catching up to do with the actual surgery side of things. Any suggestions for good resources to help me prepare for my time in the OR?

RuralER/Ortho Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 All good suggestions above. I would say for me, the most helpful is www.vumedi.com. tons of videos. You do have to create a profile I believe, but it's totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2091 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Agree above. I also found the Arthrex App to be very helpful as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
