S2 OTOHNS 336A. Subinternship in Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery (SUMC)
Department
Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
Courses Clerkships
Description
This is an advanced clerkship designed to give the senior medical student an intense exposure to the field of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Students will be expected to accomplish the following goals: (1) Assume a high level of patient care responsibility, functioning essentially at an intern level, but with supervision from the residents and faculty. (2) Strengthen their clinical and procedural skills, and specifically will be responsible for pre- and postoperative patient evaluation, and be allowed to perform simple operations, like tracheotomy, or tonsillectomy. (3) Seek out the most complex and acutely ill patients, in order to improve their clinical management skills. (4) Function as an integral member of the Otolaryngology team, more like a resident than a student. The students will be stationed at Stanford Medical Center, where there is a significant outpatient, operative, and inpatient load. Responsibilities will include preoperative work-ups, particularly of patients undergoing major head and neck, skull-base, or reconstructive surgery. They will be expected to round on all of the patients on the service, to assist with the responsibility of the writing of progress notes and orders, and to follow their patients longitudinally in the clinic after discharge. The subintern will scrub on most major head and neck, skull-base and reconstructive surgeries, and will be allowed to perform selected simple procedures. Daily didactic sessions will be provided. The subintern will obtain a broad experience structured into weekly rotations among the following services: Head & Neck / Laryngology, Pediatric, Otology / Plastics / Sinus, and Santa Clara.
