SURG 81206 LIC Clinical Surgery
The General Surgery Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship will expose students to the foundations of surgical disease. Learners will explore the presentation, work-up, and surgical management of patients with emergent, urgent, and elective surgical disease. The students begin with a three week in-hospital experience, with a focus on emergent and inpatient management of surgical problems. This will include learning the principles of treatment of surgical conditions including urgent care through the emergency department and trauma. The student then completes the longitudinal experience, spending the majority of their surgical experience paired with a surgeon and having time both in the clinic and the operating room. The aim is to teach the basic principles of surgical evaluation and treatment, and also to gain prolonged exposure to a surgical faculty mentor.
