Acting Internship: Burn Surgery at Mercy Medical Center

Catalog description

Students will be assigned to the Burn Unit at St. John's Mercy Medical Center where they will follow patients admitted to the burn unit and less severe burns that may be admitted to or later transferred to the floor. In addition, students will have the opportunity several days per week to evaluate patients in the outpatient setting. A student's goal will be to function at the PGY1 level, admitting and following patients assigned to them by the senior resident on the service and communicating directly with attending physician staff daily. They will perform, with proper supervision, any technical procedures that a PGY1 would ordinarily perform and they will assist in the operating room with all surgical procedures performed on their patients.
