Catalog Description: This course will provide instruction and advanced experience in surgery and its components for the student who has completed their core clerkship in surgery.

The student will work with their assigned team under the supervision of the faculty and will participate fully in the care of hospitalized patients in the operating room and in clinics. Students at the Fairview East Bank may request specific clinical experiences in Emergency General Surgery, Gastrointestinal/Bariatric Surgery, Surgical Oncology, and Thoracic Surgery.
