MINOR OFFICE PROCEDURES
Minor Office Procedures
Expect to leave this workshop with foundational skills and knowledge to start integrating procedures into your practice.
This workshop includes:
Anesthesia: Detailed theory and direction for making sure your field is frozen so you patient doesn't feel a thing! Review of products to use, dosing, contraindications and complications. Infiltration techniques, field blocks and nerve blocks.
Suturing: This is NOT your basic suturing course! We teach you 6 different techniques for wound closure and when to use them. We also review how to choose sutures for different areas of the body and cover how providers can reduce scars through technique.
Skin Biopsy: We cover shave biopsy, punch biopsy and excisional biopsy in detail. We also cover how to prepare your specimen to keep the pathology department happy!
Nails Procedures: Subungual hematoma, total nail avulsion and wedge resections. Tips and tricks for triage and referrals.
Pokes: How to manage ganglion cyst, bursitis and abscesses - through aspiration and incision and drainage techniques.
Cyst and Lipoma removal: Integrate skills from throughout the workshop to learn how to remove small to medium epidermoid cysts and lipomas in your primary practice.
But that's not all...
Notebook: You will leave at the end of the day with a spiral notebook of all the slides which can act as a clinical resource (at least until someone in the office steals it)!​
References: All references used to develop each section of the workshop will be provided for additional reading.
Price: $750 +HST
