Outpatient Surgery

Catalog description

During this rotation, students will broaden their experience in evaluating surgical patients and increase their understanding of the different environments in which surgery is performed. The SURG Dept assigns students to a specific site/specialty. The SURG Dept will query registered students shortly before the block begins and notify students which specialties are available. SURG assigns specialties on a first-come, first-served basis. SOM Student Affairs does not have the ability to assign students to specific sites/specialties or to determine which sites/specialties might be available. Students must be enrolled for SURG3120 to fulfill the outpatient surgery requirement. Students may not request retroactively that an elective fulfill the outpatient surgery requirement. Course may be repeated up to unlimited credit hours.
