ORTH 709H Orthopedic Surgery - Eugene

Credits: 4
Students will actively participate in patient care in the Slocum Center for Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine. This elective is clinically oriented with emphasis placed on examination techniques and the diagnosis and treatment of common Orthopaedic and sports injuries. Students will participate in both surgical and non-surgical approaches to injuries. Opportunities may exist for students to participate with their attending physician at local school athletic events. PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center has two hospitals: University District in Eugene and RiverBend in Springfield, Oregon (locations are approximately 100 miles south of the main OHSU campus). Students participating in rotations in this community will work one on one with their attending with increased autonomy. There are no Residents practicing at these hospitals or community clinics, so students may have greater opportunity for hands on care and one to one mentoring with physicians.
