Capt. Derek Kirby, medical resident, General Surgery Program, William Beaumont Army Medical Center, practices laparoscopic techniques using pegs on a laparoscopic simulator at WBAMC’s Simulation Center, Feb. 25. WBAMC was recently recognized as a Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) testing site, the only medical facility to be recognized as such in a 400 mile radius. This recognition will allow medical residents and physicians to attain the certification locally, a requirement for graduating general surgery residents.
