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.

### <mark style="background-color:blue;">Goals of Clerkship</mark>

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.
