CSiI-OLV Integrated Didactic Curriculum

Introduction:

Each listing below represents a section of the CSiI Integrated Didactic Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Curriculum. In the coming months and years as the content will be developed students will be able to navigate through a link to call up a multimedia presentation covering the listed topic. Presentations will be contributed exclusively by carefully chosen "National Teachers". Each presentation will be approximately 20 minutes in duration that a student can navigate forward and back through the presentation. CSiI OLV recommends that you complete each of the components of this e-learning module in the sequence as listed. You may choose any component for study in any sequence you prefer to complete the learning segment for credit. CSiI-OLV calls upon teachers of excellence to contribute the content of their choice from the list below (in the format prescribed) for upload and actively participate in this activity of importance. Your suggestions are most welcome. Prof Nirmal Gupta Chief Admin and Principal Moderator
