Structure of the Clerkship

The surgery student’s clerkship consists of a 8-week program with 2 rotations.

The first two days includes orientation with core general surgery didactics and OR skills labs.  4 weeks of the rotation will consist of general surgery at The University of Toledo’s Health Science Campus, The Toledo Hospital, Bay Park Hospital, Riverside Methodist in Columbus, St. Joseph’s Mercy in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Adrian, Michigan and various AHEC sites.  Four weeks of the rotation may include a surgery subspecialty consisting of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery, Urology, and Orthopedic Surgery.  We also include Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, Vascular Surgery and Pediatric Surgery rotations.  The objective of the clinical rotation is to learn surgical concepts and management skills.

On the last week of the rotation the students will be administered a multiple choice quiz and participate in a surgery OSCE demonstrating their skills they have learned during the rotation.  The students will take their NBME on the last day of the rotation.
