General Surgery

Mission Statement of Clerkship

To provide an intensive exposure into the field of Surgery so that students can actively participate in the team management of surgical patients in the preoperative period.

Goals of Clerkship

The Surgery Acting Internship will provide an environment where a 4th year student can function as a junior resident in an inpatient General Surgery team. This intensive clinical experience will allow a student to more independently participate in the preoperative management of the surgical patient and provide increased intern level clinical responsibilities.
