SURG G815 - Surgical Intensive Care Unit


Credits: 4

The surgical critical care rotation will provide M4 students with experience in the clinical concepts and procedures used in surgical critical care. Under the supervision of faculty and residents students provide comprehensive ICU care for complex trauma, vascular, neurosurgical and general surgery patients. Students will also participate in trauma resuscitations in the trauma bay. Students are expected to be an integral part of the ICU team and assist in daily rounds, evaluating new consults, coordinating care with the pulmonary team and performing procedures. Students are expected to present two brief oral reports on assigned topics for critical care teaching rounds. Students will spend two weeks working during the day and two weeks working at night.
