SURG G800 - Acute Care Surgery and Trauma Acting Internship


Credits: 4

Students on the ACS/Trauma rotation serve as junior surgical house officers to patients with acute surgical problems and trauma. Students spend two weeks working during the day and two weeks at night. Residents and faculty will supervise all student activities. The students’ exposure will include patient encounters on the surgical floors, emergency room, trauma bay, and clinic. M4 students will also be expected to teach M3 medical students rotating through their surgical clerkships. Education material is presented through resident and attending rounds, didactic lectures, surgery conferences, morbidity/mortality conference and simulation training.  M4 students are expected to give one presentation during the four week period and take the NBME Advanced Clinical Exam in Surgery.
