MDR 976: Acute Care 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 Acute Care Surgery (ACS) that will include exposure to patients in all areas of the various hospital services from medical to surgical. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of managing acutely ill patients that present with a multitude of surgical pathologies. ACS deals with all adult patients 18 years and older 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.
