Peshawar (Agencies): The Medical Professional Education Department (MPED) and the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Northwest General Hospital & Research Centre (NWGH & RC) successfully hosted the fourth session of their ongoing e-workshop series, “World-Class Surgical Education Program.”
This session, held on September 12, 2024, was conducted in collaboration with globally renowned institutions including Harvard Medical School, Stanford Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The workshop focused on enhancing surgical skills through live and pre-recorded demonstrations of critical procedures.

These demonstrations were highly valued for their practical application in clinical settings. The workshop also emphasized the importance of using cadavers in surgical training, highlighting their role in advanced learning and patient safety.
A lively question-and-answer session followed the demonstrations, led by Prof. Dr. Raja Irfan Qadir, who engaged the audience in meaningful discussions. The workshop was well received by Trainee Medical Officers (TMOs), Senior Registrars (SRs), Medical Officers (MOs), and House Officers (HOs) from the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and allied fields.
