McIntyre worked with CSI Executive Director Sarah Massena to handle the logistics and setup.<\/p>\n<p>The ASSET course was developed by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) to allow surgeons to practice procedures they rarely perform but would have to handle quickly in cases of trauma (see box). Data from the American Board of Surgery, for example, show that over the 10-year period from 2004 to 2014, graduating chief surgical residents rarely or never performed procedures exposing the brachial artery, the major vessel supplying blood to the upper arm.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7661\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7661\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7661 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144328\/EXT_120116_Dorlac-Wright-Dunn-McCrackin-Photoshop.webp\" alt=\"A photo of surgeons in a training clinic.

McIntyre envisions residents getting the training during their first three post-graduate years. Those who complete it would then serve as instructors during their fourth and fifth years to the next wave of junior residents.<\/p>\n<p>Hartman\u2019s participation was an initial step toward that goal. His assessment of the course? \u201cIt rocked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a helpful and valuable experience for any surgeon who has to manage trauma patients,\u201d Hartman explained. \u201cIn the majority of major vascular injuries, having the maximum impact as surgeons is important to patients\u2019 survival. These are also some of the rarest injuries, so being able to practice the exposures that will keep people living is a major asset.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The average number of selected cases over five years of training reported by graduating surgical chief residents. The data were supplied as part of case logs submitted to the American Board of Surgery. The numbers cover the years from 2004 to 2014.
