General Surgery (SURG573)
This course offers an opportunity to undertake a deeper exploration of general surgical disciplines as well as to improve proficiency in clinical skills and to provide greater exposure to practice in preparation for Internship. Students will be actively involved in deciding and documenting how they will learn from the experience. In so doing they will be developing skills for self-directed learning and ongoing professional development. Part of the emphasis of this clerkship is directed towards ensuring that the undergraduate student participates in the health care process. All doctor/patient interactions can be a potential learning experience. Students and teachers must make every effort to exploit this opportunity. Undergraduates must seek clarification whenever necessary, but should recognize that the timing of questions may have to be chosen sensitively so as not to interfere with the smooth delivery of clinical care.
