Undergraduate Education

Medical students rotate on Pediatric General Surgery for one month on assigned or elective surgical rotations. Students are exposed to a wide variety of elective and urgent surgical conditions in children. They experience hospital-based clinics providing initial consultations with and follow-ups of surgical patients, as well as elective operating room cases and emergent surgeries.

Service rounds occur once per week and rotate between housestaff presentations, radiology rounds, surgical pathology rounds, and specialty rounds on an ad hoc basis. Pediatric Trauma Rounds are scheduled five times per year. Medical students participate in Pediatric Surgery call on an average of one in four throughout their rotation.

Medical students can find further information by clicking on "Resources" in the menu at left. Here you will be asked to log in, where you can then gain access to the "Clinical Clerk Handout."
