Student Profile
Ijeoma A. Azodo
The ChM course is a great practical and academic exercise for surgeons at the end of their general surgical training, looking to consolidate their knowledge as they prepare for independent practice. The ChM is intense, competitive, and comprehensive. The structure develops consultant level critical thinking and judgment, and encourages concise articulation of your care plan for patient evaluation, management, and operative technique.
The pace is fast, at times daunting. The cases are challenging and relevant to surgical practice. You are in ‘e-class’ with other surgeons, who push you to be current and timely in your responses. It’s a great way to see what everyone is thinking about a case. Sometimes, you happen to be online at the same time as the tutor, so the exchange and responses can be real time, very much like being in small group discussion.
Having now learned a pace and rhythm that works for me, I am enjoying the blog/comment style of the discussion boards. Your fellow e-classmates and e-moderator push you to participate meaningfully in the discussion, preparing for which ultimately helps you grow into the next level as a surgeon.
