Students will participate in clinical care involving the Vascular Surgery Service at Tampa General Hospital. The student will work closely with the vascular surgery resident and fellow in the preoperative, operative, and postoperative patient management of the vascular surgery patients. They will also attend outpatient clinics at the USF Medical Clinics with full time faculty members. Students will also gain exposure to a variety of noninvasive vascular diagnosis in the Tampa General Vascular Diagnostic Center. Interpretation of physiologic data relative to angiographic findings and clinical symptoms will be emphasized. This rotation should provide the student with a broad exposure to clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and operative and non-operative therapy for a wide variety of arterial and venous diseases.
Evaluation
