Introducing the New Surgical Skills Training Facility
THIS IS COPIED FROM EXISTING ALUMNI PAGE.
The UW-Madison Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences is embarking on an exciting new chapter with the launch of a modern Surgical Skills Training Facility in the UW Health University Station Clinic. We’re working to right-size our training space in a central location with equipment that creates a more realistic, hands-on experience for learners.
We believe that the foundation of surgical training occurs in the surgical training wet lab, where learners gain skills, familiarity and confidence in the steps of ophthalmic surgery prior to caring for patients in the operating room.
This expanded space will:
- Allow one faculty member to train multiple learners at one time and promote peer-to-peer interactions.
- Expand continuing education and training class offerings for alumni and community providers as new advances occur.
- Create a more realistic hands-on experience, preparing our learners for the situations they will encounter in surgery.
- Provide ease of access and new opportunities for learning before, after or between clinic time as well as on weekends.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 to offset the annual operating costs and to honor Dr. Andrew T. Thliveris, (Residency 1998), Residency Program Director, for his dedication and care to training the next generation of ophthalmic surgeons.
Residency education and the name Andrew T. Thliveris, MD, PhD go hand-in-hand at the DOVS. Thliveris completed his residency at UW in 1998 and has been overseeing resident training since 2007. His care and dedication to training the next generation of ophthalmic surgeons are evident. Dr. Richard Dortzbach, Professor Emeritus and 1967 residency alumni, wants to see that dedication recognized in the new Surgical Skills Training Facility. The new lab will bear a plaque that reads in part:
In Appreciation of Andrew T. Thliveris, MD, PhD
From His Colleagues, Learners, and Friends
Through the generosity of Dr. Dortzbach and Dr. Tom Stevens, Professor Emeritus, and others, we are nearly to our goal of $100,000. Join us with a gift to advance residency education and honor Dr. Thliveris.
