This interactive activity takes Residents through the necessary steps to practice the basics in arthroscopy using our online modules alongside the hands-on FAST™ models. The module provides for learning and daily practice in a self-directed, self-paced manner. Students are able to time their pace in each area, and create notes within the module to save and download. This interactive activity allows for both self-paced learning in addition to Program Directors using this module to foster group practice.
