Surgery Clerkship – M2 & M3 (SURG:8301)
Instructors: Jennifer Hrabe (Director), Natalie Weger (Co-Director), Kailey Marlow (Course Supervisor)
Department of Surgery courses provide a unique combination of experience oriented toward patient care and understanding of surgery's place among the physician's skills. Surgery courses are open only to M.D. students and qualified students in associated health sciences (i.e. PA students).
Students develop an awareness of surgery's role in the treatment of disease. Emphasis is placed on general surgery, basic emergency surgery, trauma, oncology, burns, bariatrics, endocrine disease, pediatric surgery, transplantation, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and peripheral vascular surgery.
The majority of surgery courses involve patient-centered discussions and practical exercises interwoven with operating room experience. Lectures and conferences are scheduled regularly on specific topics.
