Clinical Surgery

Catalog description

The Surgery rotation is primarily done in the hospital setting with mixed ambulatory pre-surgical and post- surgical experiences. All experiences, regardless of setting have the goal of representing the most common surgical conditions that patients are cared for by the primary care physician in conjunction with a surgeon. To avoid redundancy, topics are removed where they are also covered in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine. Students must also learn to discriminate emergent surgical conditions from non- emergent ones. •
