Course Information
Description
This course offers an opportunity to learn about the practice of anesthesiology and its role in the peri-operative care of the surgical patient. Teaching is based on hands-on experience in the operating room, where the student will have progressive participation and responsibility for the administration of anesthesia care to patients. The four weeks of the rotation are spent providing anesthesia for general, orthopedic and sub-specialty surgical operations. Throughout the rotation, the skills of pre-operative evaluation, choosing an anesthetic plan and the basics of airway management and access placement will be taught. Students will participate in the anesthetic management of patients undergoing thoracic, neurosurgical, vascular, pediatric and regional procedures, where advanced pharmacologic, physiologic and anatomic principles and monitoring techniques are reviewed in the context of caring for these complex patients. Lastly, the student has the option to spend one weekend day as part of the call team, which offers exposure to the care of trauma and critically ill patients undergoing urgent and emergent surgeries. The student will spend one "LEAP Day" with our residents, which is a dedicated day for education including didactics, simulation training and hands-on workshops. The student is expected to attend our weekly Departmental Grand Rounds and Case Conference and to create a brief end-of-rotation presentation.
