Wound Care

Catalog description

The wound care rotation is a 2 week rotation designed for students who are interested in a primary care or general surgery residency. They will manage patients as independently as possible with oversight from the attending surgeon or wound care nurses. They will be assigned to the wound care clinic and wound care nurses at Bronson. They will gain operative/procedural experience as well as have increased responsibilities managing patients in the inpatient and outpatient setting. At the end of the rotation students should be able to place and troubleshoot a wound VAC as well as ostomy appliances.
