SUR - 794 Advanced Surgery

Advanced Surgery offers an opportunity for Rush students and especially outside students to become familiar with the Department of General Surgery at Rush University Medical Center. The student will participate in the rotation in a manner similar to the third-year students and may assume some of the duties and responsibilities of the junior residents, depending upon their familiarity with the task involved. Students will become involved in preoperative and postoperative care, they will participate in surgery, and fourth-year students rotating in Advanced Surgery will take part in the in-house call schedule on a shared rotating basis with third-year students. The work is primarily with hospitalized patients, however, there is an opportunity for ambulatory and elective surgery. Elective Retake Counts for Credit: Yes. Pass/No Pass Grading Allowed: Yes.
