Advanced Surgical Clerkship

5 credits · School of Medicine

The course aims to provide an intense educational experience in the fields of General Surgery, Trauma Surgery, Surgical Oncology, Colorectal Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Endocrine Surgery, Minimally Invasive Surgery, and Transplant Surgery. The student selects a specific surgeon mentor or service and is expected to attend multidisciplinary conferences, e.g. gastrointestinal, vascular, transplant, endocrine, oncology, etc. The student is expected to evaluate surgical patients in an outpatient setting as well as participating in inpatient and operative patient care. Attendance at clinical research conferences, case conferences, grand rounds, and sub-specialty conferences is required. Graduated patient care responsibility under supervision is encouraged to prepare the student for future assumption of duties as a house officer able to diagnose and treat surgical diseases. Students must verify with the specific attending that he/she is available during the time the student wishes to enroll in Surgery 401C. Only one student can work with a specific attending or on any specific service during any one-time period. Permission of instructor is required.
