Residency Preparation Curriculum

Once surgical residency begins, the overwhelming number of responsibilities and requirements placed on the resident often make learning new information and tasks difficult. For 4 weeks during the fourth year, a surgical internship readiness elective provides students an opportunity to learn and develop basic surgical skills under a less stressful environment and prepare for their surgical residency. In addition, students can increase their confidence in basic administrative, technical, and patient care skills prior to the start of their surgical training.
