Details
Catalog Description:Â ANAT 7800 (Integrated Preparation for Internship) is a four week clerkship to enhance preparation for internship. The course includes instruction in the SimPortal and in the anatomy lab in a simulated operating room environment. The course integrates practical internship skills and knowledge with clinical and basic sciences reviews. Other topics include inter-disciplinary competence, managing stress, finances, ethics, legal pitfalls, and professionalism.
The course is directed primarily to Year 4 students entering internships in surgery and the surgical specialties; however medical students entering Anesthesia, Emergency Medicine, and other specialties are welcome. Subject to available space, select Year 3 students may be admitted with special permission.
In summary, Anatomy 7800 has six functions: (1) to prepare students for their surgical internship; (2) to provide an understanding of the scientific basis of the care of the surgical patient; (3) to have students reintegrate Year 1 and 2 basic sciences with Year 3 and 4 clinical knowledge; (4) to provide experience with selected surgical procedures and techniques; (5) to familiarize students with operating room roles, responsibilities, and procedures; and (6) to review surgically relevant anatomy.
