Pediatric Surgery

The student will assume, with close senior resident and faculty supervision, a significant role in the total management of pediatric surgical patients. The student will have the opportunity to integrate fetal physiology and embryology knowledge into clinical care. The student will elect either an ambulatory or inpatient focus and the didactic and clinical expectations will be specific to the focus chosen. Most pediatric surgery has become ambulatory in nature in terms of operations and clinic as well as daytime consultations. Departmental core conference attendance is required for all students.
