SKILL PREPARATION TASKS

You can't expect to do any surgical skill, for instance cutting the femoral neck in a THA, unless you have done your homework. Prepare for surgical skills by reading the basic outline of the skill steps watching select videos, and reading key articles and portions of textbook chapters. Take notes and highlight so you don't forget what you learned.

Target Content: Medbullets has carefully created a series of tasks that we believe a resident should complete in preparation for a skill. They include:
1) STEPS - reading the Medbullets "Steps" of a skill that have been created by medbullets. Medbullets Techniques are largerly incomplete at this time, and will see rapid improvement as they are updated by experts in the field over the coming months.

Mastery Trigger: Check the "Mark Skill as Read" under each Step.
2) VIDEOS - only Medbullets Technique Videos count. Currently we only have videos for one procedure posted. We plan on releasing 1-2 Technique Videos per month.

3) ARTICLES - we will continue to select several articles, which may be a scientific articles or a section of a Technique textbook, which we feel should be read prior to attempting to do a surgical skill. We will do our best to make sure a PDF is provided.
