SURG G810 - Pediatric Surgery
Credits: 4
This rotation offers the student an opportunity to work closely with pediatric surgeons in the office and hospital practice using the preceptor method to provide an exemplary approach to the management of problems in surgical pediatrics. The main emphasis of the course is to provide a basis for the comprehensive care of children requiring surgical intervention. The student will be exposed to the basic surgical techniques and be given the opportunity to participate during certain procedures. Patients presenting with complaints ranging from management of para-surgical congenital anomalies will be seen in this setting. The student will work as part of a team of the pediatric surgery service, participating in preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. The patient population will consist of age groups from the premature newborn to the young adolescent. Exposure to a broad spectrum of cases needing surgical intervention, and/or management, will be provided. Hospital rounds, lectures, and conferences will be scheduled for the student to parallel the surgeon. Students will spend two weeks working during the day and two weeks working at night.
