Senior Surgery of Foot & Ankle

Catalog description

The Surgical Senior Block consists of a month-long clinical rotation for the purpose of applying previously learned academic knowledge to the treatment of the podiatric surgical patient. The students will participate in the podiatric surgical clinics at The Foot Center of New York and affiliated hospitals. The student evaluates, initiates, and participates in the care of the patient under the auspices of the attending podiatric surgeon. The student’s practical experience is supplemented with a podiatric surgical hospital rotation, in-patient management, case presentation, and the Journal Club, a weekly session designed to enable the senior student to review and present current articles on a previously assigned topic. The senior student will be able to keep abreast of current topics and trends in medical/surgical literature and reinforce the principles of evidence-based medicine. Prerequisite: SRGP 640
