The Surgery clerkship curriculum emphasizes the basic clinical skills required to solve common surgical problems. Students will be introduced to preoperative, postoperative, emergency, and ambulatory care of patients. By the completion of this clerkship, students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the pathophysiology of surgically treatable diseases and to have acquired sufficient knowledge and diagnostic skills to be able to recognize when a patient's condition might best be served by a surgical consultation. Students will also develop skills for the safe, effective, and efficient management of patients in the hospital and ambulatory setting. Fail Thru Honors(MED)
