As part of East Port Said National University’s commitment to advancing students’ practical and clinical competencies and bridging the gap between academic knowledge and hands-on experience, the Faculty of Medicine organised a training workshop entitled “From Zero to Suture”. The workshop aimed to introduce students to fundamental surgical skills, familiarise them with surgical instruments and their applications, and provide practical training in surgical suturing techniques.
The workshop was held under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Atef Alam El-Din, President of the University, and under the supervision of Assistant Prof. Dr. Sherine El-Khouly, Director of the Medicine and Surgery Programme.
The workshop focused on developing students’ foundational surgical skills through hands-on familiarisation with various surgical instruments, their functions and applications, and practical training in suturing techniques. This approach provided students with an opportunity to gain initial hands-on experience, refine their manual dexterity, and build confidence in performing essential clinical skills.
Prof. Dr. Atef Alam El-Din, President of the University, emphasised the University’s commitment to supporting training initiatives that enhance students’ practical and clinical competencies. He highlighted the importance of introducing students to fundamental medical skills at an early stage of their education, helping prepare them for subsequent clinical training and contributing to the development of competent medical professionals equipped with both scientific knowledge and practical expertise.
The workshop reflects the University’s continued commitment to strengthening the practical dimension of medical education and providing interactive training opportunities that equip students with the knowledge and hands-on skills essential for clinical training and future medical practice.
