Welcome!

In the surgical clerkship, you will be introduced to a wide spectrum of surgical diseases. By following patients through their initial presentation to the operating room and post -operative care, you will be able to observe the evolution and resolution of surgical disease processes. Teaching in the operating room and at the bedside, in particular, brings students and patients together for their mutual benefit. The faculty and residents are here to guide you and make the clerkship a meaningful experience. We feel the clerkship will give you the opportunity to actively expand your knowledge, develop technical and clinical skills and initiate relationships with patients, residents, faculty and staff. In these eight weeks, we hope your exposure to surgery will show you what it means to be a surgeon at all levels and see why we feel surgery is such an exciting career.
