Your preceptor will tell you where you have to go and when to be there. Some will plan your day, others will let you make your own experience or stay with the residents. Since it varies, talk to your preceptor to find out what they want. You will also need to call them to find out when to meet them on your first day. You should plan to go to all surgeries your preceptor is in on, as well as to follow some of the patients you have seen procedures on.
Rounds depend on the preceptor, so ask.
For the sub-speciaties, talk to previous students to find out what may be right for you if you are not sure what interests you. In addition to time with your preceptors, your grade will also include two case presentations to the students and a board exam at the end. Call will only be required for general surgery and orthopedics. You will meet on the 4 th floor of Three Cooper Plaza for a day of lectures. The second day will be with your preceptors.
