Surgery Interest Group
Opportunities
SIMULATION CENTER
The Simulation Center houses state of the art center laparoscopic and endoscopic simulators. The surgery residents have 24-hour a day access to practice and progress through a set curriculum at their own pace. The simulation center supports the emphasis on minimally invasive surgery and endoscopic procedures.
In the spring, Dr. Vick opened the simulation center to M1’s and M-2’s. The medical students are given an opportunity to use the simulators to enhance their exposure to the educational component of surgery and some of the equipment and skills used in the field of surgery.
SHADOWING
Medical students at all levels have the opportunity to “shadow” an attending in surgery. The medical student participates in the surgery team for a day (day, afternoon, night) and see first hand the life of a surgeon without waiting until the M-3 year. Surgical service options available through the Surgery Interest Group: Trauma Surgery, General Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Surgical Critical Care, Pediatric Surgery, Urology, Plastic Surgery.
