Surgery

Surgery

SurgeryOur Surgery training is focused on assessment and management of surgical problems in the ambulatory setting. Residents work with community surgeons to evaluate and manage pre- or post-op general and pediatric surgery cases. During our surgery rotation, residents are assigned to a single surgeon and participate in the surgeries and pre and post-operative care of the surgeon’s patients. This rotation also includes several sessions in the Wound Care Clinic, which includes management of pressure ulcers and other wounds commonly seen by family physicians.

Dermatology
