Introduction to Endocrine Surgery

1 credits · School of Medicine

The Endocrine Surgery Selective will allow second year medical students to be exposed to, and participate in, the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care of endocrine surgery patients. This patient population encompasses a wide variety of benign, malignant, hormonally active, and hereditary endocrine diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and neuro-endocrine pancreas/systems which are evaluated in a multidisciplinary clinic along with medical endocrinology, oncology, pathology, genetics, and radiology. A working knowledge of these diseases and their multidisciplinary management is critical to a career in internal medicine or surgery, in particular. Credit: 1. Enrollment: max 1. Randall P.
