LINK: Basic Suturing and Wound Management

The purpose of this tutorial, which includes this online module and a suturing seminar, is to introduce students to the basics of wound management and allow them to practice simple suturing on a prosthetic model. Basic suturing is an essential psychomotor skill in the everyday practice of medicine. Although suturing technique is important, the physician must also have a thorough understanding of wound management in general to effectively care for a patient with a laceration. Students should complete this module and complete the embedded multiple-choice questions prior to their scheduled suturing seminar. There will be a brief multiple-choice exam based on this material at the beginning of the seminar.
