The plastic surgery faculty are responsible for the
education and training of medical students (undergraduates),
residents and fellows.
As a division in the Department
of Surgery. Plastic Surgery shares the teaching of the surgery curriculum
with seven other divisions: general
surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedics, otolaryngology, thoracic and cardiovascular
surgery, and urology.
The ten-week surgery clerkship is an integrated, multi-disciplinary
clinical experience that introduces students to basic
principles of surgery and related problems. Its curriculum
is defined by learning objectives and encompasses inpatient-hospital
and outpatient-office experiences. During each half
of the clerkship, students simultaneously evaluate and
follow patients from four surgical disciplines.
Functioning as members of the patient-care team, they
learn pre-operative and post-operative evaluation and
management and participate in surgical procedures.
Daily
rounds and weekly seminars with faculty give students
an opportunity to discuss patient problems in detail.
Faculty mentors provide students with regular feedback,
advice and direction.
A lecture and discussion series on critical problems
is used to help students strengthen psychosocial skills.
Classroom teaching and supervised ward practice help
students acquire needed technical ward skills.
Elective courses in each major surgical specialties
are available to seniors interested in acquiring additional
knowledge and skills.
