Trauma Surgery

Students will participate in the care of injured patients in the ER and the OR and understand the principles of ATLS teaching. In addition, the students will have the opportunity to follow patients in an outpatient setting to understand the outcomes of trauma. The ambulatory focus will be limited to the clinics at the medical mall and daytime emergency room consults, especially those seen and subsequently either discharged or admitted to another service. Students will have the choice of participating in the daytime trauma service with night time call, or our on-call night float team working 5 nights per week for the month.
