*The above schedule is designed for a categorical
resident. Those residents that enter as preliminary will spend a total
of five months on general/vascular/thoracic surgery. The remaining
five months will be spent as follows: 2 months surgical Intensive Care
Unit and 3 months night float.
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
During the third year, residents will rotate for two months at the
Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
The Children’s
Hospital will perform over 19,000 operations in a year, with 4,000
being in the general surgery category. During this rotation, the
residents will have a heavy volume of surgery and extensive experience
in the clinical management of patients undergoing a wide variety
of surgical procedures. In addition to the operative experience,
the resident will participate in the many conferences – grand
rounds, x-ray, and morbidity and mortality. The resident’s
experience during this rotation is under the guidance of Dr. Azizkhan,
Director of Pediatric Surgery.
Shriner’s Hospital for Children,
Cincinnati, Ohio
During the second year, residents will rotate for one month at the
Shriner’s Hospital for Children.
This institute is one of only three Pediatric Burn Units in the United
States sponsored by the Shriner’s. During this rotation,
the residents will take an active role in all aspects of management
of the severely burned patient. While on call, the resident is also
responsible for the care of adult patients in the University Hospital
Burn Unit. In addition, there is extensive experience with the principles
of reconstructive and restorative surgery as well as rehabilitation
from severe burns. The residents experience during this rotation is
under the direction of Richard Kagen, MD, Director of Surgery.
Mentoring
During the program’s second and fourth years, residents participate in a mentorship program with faculty representatives from the general surgery and vascular surgery services. The faculty member serves as a mentor to the apprentice resident for one-month intervals. This experience affords the surgical resident in-depth exposure to the continuity of patient care, role modeling opportunities and office-based practices. The apprentice residents will share this increased knowledge with the junior residents within the program.
