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 Anesthesia and then 2.5 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. Their contact is both informal and formal, including student cast presentations. The advisors also coordinate the faculty’s student evaluation process to develop consistent grading standards.
