PD

This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 3 or 6 credit hours. The student should function with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in several of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. The purpose of this elective is to acquaint the student with the general principles of solid organ transplantation and afford them the opportunity to participate in a number of tertiary care surgical problem situations. The specific skills involve learning detailed aspects of renal, hepatic and pancreatic replacement, including indications, selection of donors and recipients, histocompatibility testing, preoperative care, and complications. Conferences will be held daily in the form of transplantation rounds conducted each afternoon with the course coordinator. Students will have additional surgical exposure to hepatobiliary cases and vascular access. Students are to attend all resident conferences.
