Holding a surgical instrument;
Knot tying (2 hands first!);
Basic wound closure principles and techniques ("approximate, don't strangulate!"; subcuticular, simple interrupted, running, vertical mattress);
Suturing a drain, chest tube, central line into position securely;
Recognizing patterns in operations (ie, steps in transecting a vessel bigger than a capillary); and
Assisting movements (taking clamps off, "following" with suture).
