ACE: Perioperative Medicine and Surgical Home

School of Medicine

This course is designed to emphasize the concepts of coordinated perioperative medicine and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). The student will function as integral part of the Perioperative Anesthesia Consult Service and learn fundamental aspects of anesthetic care that maximize perioperative pain control and reduce morbidity and healthcare costs. The focus of this rotation is out of the operating room and students will be rotating between the Acute Pain Service and Perioperative Services. There will be about 4 days scheduled in the operating room (including OB).
