SELE 8058-8078, 8206 - Selective IV: Surgery

2 to 4 credit hours each

The selective surgery fourth-year-clerkship is necessary to provide the student with further experience in general surgery, or other surgically-related subspecialties, by supplementing the student’s core knowledge with clinical experience. The curriculum content will vary depending on what surgical experience the student desires to explore. This clerkship is based upon the clinical presentation curriculum with an emphasis on diagnosis and management. Students will receive exposure to patients in both ambulatory (“outpatient”) and inpatient settings. While the clerkship should focus on the surgical focus of the particular rotation, the student might also avail themselves of the opportunity to work with other subspecialist surgeons: oncological, trauma, cardiovascular, otorhinolaryngological, gynecological, orthopedic, vascular, and urological.
