SURG G710 - Multidisciplinary Oncology


Credits: 2

This elective is meant to introduce clinical surgical oncology, radiation oncology and medical oncology to medical students. This rotation is ideal for both students interested in pursuing a career in one of these fields and for those simply interested in learning about oncology. The majority of students’ time will be spent on the surgical oncology team with appropriate outreach to radiation oncology and medical oncology. The main focus of the rotation will be to be understanding the multidisciplinary center concept of tumor management, including the demanding complexities of integrating multiple specialties in a timely and effective manner to maximize patient management based on nationally based cancer guidelines and clinical trial options. Students will have the opportunity to participate in surgery and medical therapies as well.
