CLE 670

Credit: 10 hours.

The Surgery Clerkship is a ten-week rotation. The clerkship is designed to provide clinical experience that improves skills in overall patient care as students apply their knowledge of the basic sciences and expand their knowledge base through exposure to the wide variety of patients and procedures that fall into the realm of general surgery. Students become a valued member of the team as they assume responsibility for the overall care of their patients preoperatively and postoperatively and assist in the operating room.

10 professional hours. Approved for S/U grading only. Available for honor grades. Prerequisite: This course is restricted to students enrolled in the MD program at Carle Illinois College of Medicine.
