Michelle and Jocelyn's perioperative nursing course finished today. It might seem impossible but surgery is frequently done here without a scrub nurse. Now there are fifteen OR nurses who have been trained how to gown, glove, set up a sterile table and pass instruments. All this learning happened in the simulation centre. Each nurse had to pass a written and practical test at the end. They were all successful! The graduation ceremony was very moving. The nurses were so happy and grateful for all they had learned.
Amelie and I have spent the last few days teaching and solving Rwanda's problems one by one. I had a full day meeting with Paulin yesterday, as he is the new program director. I could not be more proud of all he is doing to make the residency program excellent. There is no question that leadership skills are increasing among the recent graduates.
