The Advanced Trauma and Acute Care surgery elective at Boston Medical Center is a clinical program with a strong focus on management of acute general surgical disease and the multimodal and multidisciplinary management of traumatic injury. The elective is four weeks in duration and is designed to further develop the complex peri-, intra-, and post-operative decision making and basic open and laparoscopic surgical skills of the medical student who might be interested in a future career in trauma surgery. This is an Advanced Course that can only be taken following completion of the Acute Care and Trauma Surgery Sub-internship. The BU medical student will be able to expand their responsibilities under direct supervision and develop their own learning objectives to focus their interests throughout the rotation.
