Graduate Medical Education - Resident Programs | Medical Students

2. Second Year - continued

Other suggested subspecialty out rotations are:
A burn unit rotation
Hand surgery
Peripheral vascular surgery
Surgical nutrition support

Following completion of the out rotations at Botsford General Hospital, a resident evaluation form is to be completed by the trainer and submitted to the Medical Education Office. In addition, the resident is to prepare a written critique of the out rotation and present it to the Program Director of the General Surgery Residency and the Director Medical Education. a file of the critiques will be maintained by the Program Director and shall be available to the residents of their our rotations.

Surgery residents, who are here for one to two years prior to taking subspecialty training, are not eligible for out rotations during their training in the Department of General Surgery.

It is expected that the resident will have six months available for rotations during the four-year training program. This may vary for the individual resident.

Factors that may affect the amount of rotation time permitted are, the number of surgical residents in the program, the volume of surgical cases scrubbed by the resident, and the degree of knowledge, merit, and technical proficiency achieved by the resident.

The scheduling of out rotations is coordinated with the chief surgical resident with the approval of the Program Director.

Under no circumstances will the resident be permitted to be away from the scrub services of Botsford General Hospital for more than six consecutive months.
