Presentations are given by members of the surgical staff, faculty from other clinical and basic science departments, and senior surgical house officers. Surgical grand rounds are held weekly and include presentations from all aspects of general surgery such as vascular, endocrine, trauma and gastrointestinal surgery, as well as the surgical subspecialties. In each hospital, surgical clinics are held weekly for follow-up of patients cared for on the general surgical services. Attendance at clinics is required of all surgical residents. A weekly cancer clinic also is held.
Residents make presentations at weekly conferences attended by both residents and students.
Each resident takes the annual in-service examination of the American Board of Surgery. The results of this examination are considered in the promotion of residents. Upper-level residents also are given oral examinations which closely approximate the conditions and content of the certifying examination of the American Board of Surgery.
