The Hughston Foundation’s Surgical Education Center is a fully equipped, bioskills laboratory located on the second floor of the Foundation building. The lab contains the latest in arthroscopy equipment which allows for “hands-on” training to build on existing skills or learn and develop new techniques in arthroscopic surgery. Sawbone models allow students and physicians to easily practice their arthroscopic and surgical skills on plastic versions of human limbs and joints. Each year, the lab hosts a cadaveric dissection series with accompanying lectures on specific anatomic sites presented by Hughston staff physicians for fellows and students. Audiovisual integration with the Foundation’s meeting facilities allows large groups to remain seated in the auditorium while observing and interacting with those working in the lab. Medical device companies use the lab to train surgeons in the latest orthopaedic implants and instrumentation as well.

An adjoining classroom, lab prep room, and locker room are new additions, making the Hughston Surgical Education Center a premier facility for orthopaedic education and surgical training.
