MDR 931: Trauma Surgery 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. This 4-week rotation will expose the Next Gen phase 3 student to the comprehensive world of trauma that will include exposure to patients in all areas of trauma care. These areas will include the trauma resuscitation bays, the trauma operating rooms, the trauma floors, clinics and ICU. Students will develop an understanding of the complexities of managing both blunt and penetrating trauma across all age groups and all demographics. The Sub-intern will also learn how to develop collaborative skills and strong interpersonal communication skills as well as the development of professionalism in all facets of the rotation. This is an ideal opportunity for the Sub-I to function as an integral member of the trauma team on par with the intern.
