Prof. Mihály Boros celebrated 25 years as Head of Department

Regarding the educational activities of the Institute of Surgical Research, we learned that the Institute plays a significant role in both undergraduate, residency and postgraduate training by teaching basic surgical, medical, emergency care, microsurgical, laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, among others. The institute also provides teaching activities for animal experimentation (FELASA) courses. It also boasts a strong record of scientific achievements, with hundreds of journal articles, abstracts, conference papers and books in Hungarian, English and German.

The event also included a summary of the past 10 years of the activities of the Skills Centre, which Prof. Mihály Boros has also helped to create, establish and run. The centre was opened 10 years ago in the former student club. The teaching facilities of the unit were state-of-the-art at that time, with computer-controlled flexible endoscopy systems, high-fidelity adult and paediatric patient simulators, in addition to traditional infrastructure for the practical educational background of internal medicine, emergency medicine and nursing. This unit is still almost unchanged today, with emergency medicine as its main profile. In 2018, another unit of the Centre was opened in the former Szeged City hospital, where the educational palette was developed further, in line with the international trends. Two fully-equipped surgical operating theatres, with adjoining scrubbing and dressing rooms and several other practice rooms have been set up in addition to general surgery facilities for gynaecology, anaesthesiology, intensive care, nursing and urology, diagnostic and imaging units. A high-level IT background, data recording and audio-visual systems are also available.
