Abstract

Purpose：The Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma （ASSET） course is an off-the-job training course using cadavers developed by the American College of Surgeons and has been held in many countries worldwide, with the first course held in Japan in 2016. The one-day course includes a discussion of trauma cases and surgical techniques. Since the usefulness of this course in Japan has not been clarified, we analyzed the results of a post-course questionnaire survey. Methods：A survey of 76 participants over the past 9 courses assessed the following items: overall evaluation, program topics and content, educational needs and format, usefulness in actual practice, acquisition of new knowledge/techniques, satisfaction, etc. In addition, helpful anatomic areas were also surveyed. Results：The average rating on a 5-point scale （4.3 to 4.8） was high （congruence of training level, usefulness, satisfaction, and course recommendation）. The neck and upper extremities received the higher ratings among the anatomic areas covered in the course. Conclusions：Although the ASST course has advantages and disadvantages, our questionnaire survey rated it highly, so its continued dissemination is desirable.
