This eight-week clerkship encompasses general, vascular, and trauma surgery.

In addition to this clinical involvement, each student is involved in small group conferences and an afternoon Didactic series delivered by members of the Faculty. The student also participates in a skills laboratory, videotape presentations, grand round sessions, and generous outpatient experiences. This clerkship also is offered in Knoxville (SUR2- 3001/F) and Chattanooga (SUR3-3001/F). May be repeated up to 14 credit hours.
