PD

This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 6 credit hours. The student will function as a junior intern with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in all of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. This general surgery rotation is geared toward medical students who view surgery as their probable career choice. The student will be expected to assume intern-level responsibility for patient care. Students will spend four weeks working closely with our busy general surgeons, while participating as members of the resident/housestaff team. Students will participate in 1 day of clinic weekly, depending on the attending and OR time. There will be four in-house call shifts, and expectations are to carry about 4-6 patients daily. In addition to daily morning rounds, students will participate in didactic conferences including Morbidity, Mortality, & Improvement, Surgical Education Conference, Medical Student Conference, Basic Science Conference, Skills/Sim Lab, Ward Rounds, Clinical Case Conference, Vascular Conference, and Tumor Board.
