SURG 709A Trauma Surgical ICU - OHSU

Credits: 6
Students have the opportunity to participate in the management of complex, critically ill trauma, general surgery, and transplant patients. This is a highly educational experience that combines opportunities for patient management with excellent bedside and didactic teaching. OHSU is a quaternary care center for the state of Oregon and one of the only two Level 1 Trauma Centers, adding to the excellence of this opportunity. Students make daily rounds with trauma surgeons, fellows, residents, and PAs. This is an excellent educational experience secondary to bedside teaching as well as multiple planned conferences to include Trauma Conference, Morbidity and Mortality, and a didactic lecture series. Students also get the opportunity to present a case they have managed at one of the Trauma Conferences. Throughout the rotation, students will be presented with case-based modules and will receive feedback on these assignments. Students will take a final exam at the end of the rotation.
