Surgery Subinternships The Department of Surgery offers fourth-year students the opportunity to be subinterns at a variety of our major teaching hospitals. The student will be assigned patients to admit and follow during their hospital course. The student will work with the resident and attending staff in managing the patient's surgical problems in the operating room, on the inpatient wards, and in the ambulatory setting. Attendance at morning and afternoon rounds, morbidity and mortality conferences, and other teaching conferences is an important part of the rotation as well as being on call with residents. Instruction will focus on principles and pathophysiology of surgical disease, pre- and postoperative care, indication for surgical intervention, and procedural skills. This rotation is especially suitable for any student interested in more intensive training in surgery than is possible during the required third-year surgery clerkship. * MED MS 400.00: General Surgery, Cape Cod * MED MS 400.1a: General Surgery, Vascular Service * MED MS 400.1b: Surgical Oncology Service * MED MS 400.2: General Surgery and SICU, VA Boston Healthcare System * MED MS 400.3: Acute Care Trauma Surgery, Menino Pavilion * MED MS 403.1: Surgical Intensive Care Unit
