Educational Programs : Clerkships  

The Surgery rotation for third year Medical School students provides three months of clinical experience.

The 12-week surgical rotation plan includes 4.5 weeks in General Surgery, 2.5 weeks in Anaesthesia and then two two-and-a-half-week rotations in subspecialties (one of which includes exposure to critical care) selected by the individual students.

The daily faculty lecture series is scheduled at 6:45 a.m., before the first surgical cases. This series gives students contact with a broad range of department faculty.

Faculty advisors have been appointed in every section. They are the primary faculty point of contact for the students, meeting with them two or three times per week and rounding with them. Their contact is both informal and formal, including student case presentations. The Advisors also coordinate the faculty’s student evaluation process, developing consistent grading standards.
