Wet lab
0935You will have the opportunity to spend your wet lab portion to gain hands-on experience with the Ahmed and Baerveldt drainage devices. You may choose to spend all your time on just one of these devices, or divide your time between each of these, depending on your personal learning needs. Although all the instructors have experience with both types of implant, currently Drs Trope, Schertzer and Buys primarily use Ahmed implants, and Drs Tingey, Harasymowycz, Rafuse and Nicolela use Baerveldt implants. They will be circulating between the workstations and can be flagged down as needed during this session.
Discussion
1045Throughout the wet lab portion, if questions arise that might be relevant to other course attendees, these teachable moments may be discussed openly amongst all those in attendance. Time will also be allocated after the wet lab portion for us to regroup in order to discuss what we have learned, in case there are practical points you would like to share with the group.
