PSUR 7001 - Surgery Clerkship

This clerkship exposes students to the pathophysiology of surgical diseases and to the principles and techniques of surgical approaches to the diagnosis and management of diseases. As members of the surgical team consisting of attending physicians and residents, students participate in pre-operative, operative, and post-operative patient care. This clerkship is paired with the discipline of family medicine in an integrated 16 week block, of which 6 weeks focuses on general surgery and 4 weeks is allocated to a surgical subspecialty selective experience (e.g., orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, and neurosurgery). “Shared” teaching and learning experiences spanning the disciplines of surgery and family medicine are provided to expose students to interdisciplinary approaches to patient care and management.

Credit Hours: 10
