SURGICAL SELECTIVES: TRAUMA SURGERY
Objectives
To refine the student's understanding of trauma management. Areas will include initial assessment and resuscitation, diagnostic workup and management options. It is obvious that in the short time on this selective, the student will not master these areas. It is expected, however that the student will become familiar with the process of trauma evaluation and treatment to be able to know when such processes need to be implemented.
