Acting Internship: Oncology at St. Mary's Hospital

Catalog description

Under the direction of the Gynecologic Oncology staff, students are expected to see patients in the office setting and be involved in the management plans of these patients. They are expected to follow patients and work with the gynecologic oncology team to provide the best possible care. In the operating room, students will be exposed to most of the principles of radical pelvic surgery and will also be called upon as more active participants, in some procedures. They will follow patients postoperatively, in conjunction with residents, and assist in patient management and discharge planning. Students are expected to attend all departmental educational conferences including tumor board and pathology conferences. Throughout the rotation students will work very closely with the faculty and residents assigned to the services.
