Course Information

Description

This course allows students to join a Surgical Oncology, Hepatobiliary/Pancreas, Colorectal, Gen/GI, Endocrine, Minimally Invasive, or Trauma/Emergency Surgical Service. The student is expected to function closer to the level of an intern.  Each team is composed of 1-5 attendings, 1 Senior, and 1 junior resident/intern and a variable number of nurse practitioners. The student is expected to take responsibility for the patients on his/her team. This is meant to prepare the student for a future surgical training program. Learning occurs in the operating room, rounds, and specialty conferences. There are no overnight calls on these services except the trauma/emergency surgical service. Students are asked to rank the services of their choice and send to the clerkship administrator as soon as they are confirmed for the rotation.
