Surgery (M95)  (Dept. Info)Medicine  (Policies)YR2024
M95 Surgery 920Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Advanced Clinical Rotation (ACR)4.0 Units
Description:The period on Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery will be spent as a clinical clerkship. The purpose of the clinical sub-internship is to familiarize the student with the basic principles of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and prepare for internship. The student will have successive assignments to each of the attending staff and the ward resident services during the four weeks. This will expose the student to the breadth and depth of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Alternatively, if the student has identified a focus of interest, the student may participate on those services of special interest, such as hand or pediatric plastic surgery, although rotation will be required each week. Students will submit a preference list for service assignments prior to the rotation and efforts will be made to accommodate these preferences. The student will assume an active role on the plastic and reconstructive surgery service and will participate in the total management of a wide variety of surgical problems including congenital anomalies, microvascular surgery, surgery of the upper extremity, peripheral nerve surgery, cosmetic surgery, and general reconstructive plastic surgery. Students will be expected to participate in patient care on morning and afternoon rounds, in clinic, the emergency department, and in the operating room. Students will gain basic procedural skills including wound care, splinting, and suturing. Student will perform a ten-minute case presentation at PRS Grand Rounds.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
