MDR 917: Burn Unit Sub-I

The sub-internship (Sub-I), a 4-week experience, offered during Phase 3 of the NextGen curriculum is intended to provide a learning experience for the student that prepares them to serve as competent interns and effective members of an interdisciplinary team. The burn service offers a complete approach to the care of thermally injured patients. The team cares for patients from the acute resuscitative phase to outpatient follow-up, including reconstruction. As such, clinical encounters include intensive care unit, operating room, medical-surgical floor and clinic. Principles of critical care, infection control, nutritional support, wound care, and rehabilitation are emphasized. There are also opportunities to participate in clinical research.
