Dr. Tim Misselbeck

 

Students will participate in pre-operative evaluation, assist at surgery and procedures and be involved in post-operative management in a one-on-one relationship with an attending surgeon or a resident. Because of the size and complexity of this division, which includes open heart and thoracic activities, it is recommended that the student discuss personal goals with the chief of the division before starting the course.

Objectives

  1. Participate in pre-operative evaluation of the patient.
  2. Participate in the post-operative management of the patient.
  3. Assist with designated procedures in the operative suite.

Evaluation

Students will be evaluated based on their ward performance.
