PEDI 8011 - Surgical Anatomy

This course is taught by Dr. Elmus Beale and Dr. David McClusky. It is, in essence, a surgery “boot camp”. The course will consist of lecture, cadaver dissection, laparoscopic surgery simulation, and surgical skills. If you are entering a surgical residency and can arrange your schedule to participate in this course, you will be glad you did. (2 week)

Credit Hours: 2
Comments: This course is being newly offered. It grew out of dialogue with students in the class of 2019 linked to the Public Health Interest Group during their first years at PLFSOM. The plan is to offer the Immersion in the early Spring 2019 (after Residency interviews and before Match Day). It is anticipated that this will include a brief (up to 5 nights) home stay for pairs of students with local families (tent.in Sunland Park, NM). The goal is for a small cohort of MS4s students to go through this Immersion together. Contact Dr. Rosenthal to discuss this course and learn more about plans for the course. -note added for MPH students by Dr. Rosenthal 1-25-18
