Suture Tech - March 2025

Great experience!

Today I worked with an M4 suture tech named Jack and another one of my M1 peers who was also named Jack. Jack (M4) was a great teacher and did a really good job of explaining why we do certain things the way we do them. This experience was useful because it provided me insight into new techniques of suturing. For example, I got to do a few horizontal mattress stitches today. Jack (M4) was very patient and professional with the patients and did a great job guiding me through the new suturing techniques. Overall, great experience!

During this shift, I worked with Cassidy, one of the M4 suture techs and I also worked with another M1 student, Payton. This shift provided me with a very valuable learning experience, as I learned how to do different types of sutures. Cassidy did a great job teaching me and Payton and was very helpful and patient with us. This was a meaningful experience both for improving my suturing skills but also for learning more about other types of sutures.
