Description
The Surgery Clerkship consists of two months of surgery, which will be divided into one month of general surgery and one month of surgical subspecialties. Students will be expected to take call in the evenings. General surgery should include exposure to a variety of surgical topics and experiences, including minor outpatient surgery, gastrointestinal (abdominal surgery), hernia repair, breast, endocrine, and trauma. Subspecialty exposure will be to orthopedics, anesthesia, ENT and urology. Exposure to the topics will be through reading, hospital lectures, seminars and meetings, and hands-on experiences such as performing H&P?s, participating in surgical rounds, writing daily progress notes, participating in surgeries, attending all surgical conferences, and performing tasks as assigned by the preceptor.
