Very professional, the staff was very nice and helpful in my situation. Glad I made the appointment here because they wasted no time in getting me the information I needed.
You couldn't ask for a better staff. They are courteous, helpful and really know their stuff.
Thank you Doctor Ahlering for giving me the potential for a future. Your leadership and skill is reflected throughout your wonderful caring team who navigated me through this phase of my journey and treated me as if I was one of your own family.
My recovery exceeded every expectation that I had. After the surgery I was basically pain free and only took 1 Tylenol tablet! I was able to walk at length couple of days after the surgery. I did not even feel weak as one expects after the surgery.
Very professional staff, I like the rapport that they build with their patients. I took my son in for a procedure and the medical assistants took me under their wings and explained every step of the procedure in detail. I couldn't had chosen a better facility.
I have been treated by Dr. Louie and have nothing but good things to say about it. He is friendly, knowledgeable and will answer all the questions posed. In other words he has good bedside manner.
UC Irvine’s Summer Surgery Program is primarily located at UCI Medical Center in Orange; however, one day of each session is dedicated to patient simulation in the hands-on workshops at the Medical Education Building on UC Irvine’s Main Campus in Irvine.
A typical day will begin at 7:00am with breakfast and morning “Pre-Rounds” with various UCI Attending Surgeons. This is an informal and personal introduction to all different fields of medicine and gives our students one-on-one time for open dialog with some of our world-renowned physicians, surgeons and scientists.
Afterward, the Anatomy Dissection Course will be held in the Surgical Education Laboratory. Our summer surgeons will learn anatomy just like a surgeon. Summer Surgeons will get an unmatched experience in hands-on dissection of a fetal pig with overhead lights and surgical instruments as they participate in lectures taught by our medical student leaders.
After Anatomy lessons, the Summer Surgeons are divided into two groups who alternate activities. One group will join medical student hosts to observe live surgical cases in the UC Irvine Douglas Hospital surgical suites; the other group will begin surgical skills training in hands-on workshops at our state-of-the-art Surgical Education Center. In these surgical skills workshops, every Summer Surgeon will learn open, laparoscopic, endoscopic and da-Vinci robotic surgical techniques using the same equipment our very own physicians and residents train on. Additionally, our summer surgeons will learn and master suturing and knot tying techniques. After lunch, the two groups switch.
Lunch is provided every day during which tabletop discussions take place which give our Summer Surgeons insight about:
Students will receive BLS training to become CPR certified, will perform lumbar puncture, endotracheal intubation, Intravenous catheter placement, and will participate in simulation training that is identical to that of the medical students and residents who train here at UC Irvine.
To enhance their learning experience, our summer surgeons will be divided into groups to create an innovation project for the session, based on the daily observations they make in the operating room. A wrap-up session will conclude each day so that the students can integrate and discuss what they have learned.
At the conclusion of each session, the Summer Surgeons will demonstrate what they’ve learned by presenting their innovation projects during our Closing Ceremonies to family and friends, the Summer Surgery leadership team, and judges including CEO’s and leaders from top medical device companies. In addition to the innovation projects students will be given a final exam that includes an anatomy lab practical exam and a surgical skills assessment. The top students in each category will be recognized for their achievement during the Closing Ceremony. The team with the best innovation will be awarded the "Golden Lightbulb."
