For Your Patients

Recognizing the critical role of the patient in their recovery, the Â鶹´«Ã½is committed to providing engaging and effective patient education programs

For Your Patients

We’re Here for You and Your Patients

Our primary mission at the Â鶹´«Ã½is to train surgeons for better patient care and outcomes. Our evidence-based programs support you and your patients with effective and efficient surgical patient education programs for the best possible outcomes and recovery.

Patient and Caregiver Skills Training Programs

The skill training programs explain, demonstrate, and provide directed learning experiences and practice opportunities. Given in advance of surgery, they afford patients/caregivers the opportunity of repetitive practice, and the confidence to actively participate in their care and safely continue their recovery following discharge.
