SURG-761 Off-Campus Emergency
Periods Offered: Each four weeks
Student Limit: By Arrangement

Special off-campus electives in Emergency Medicine at other medical centers can be arranged for an extraordinary learning experience not regularly available within the department. An Off-Campus Elective Application form must be submitted for this experience. The primary concern is to identify a responsible and acceptable faculty-in-absentia who can assure an active clerkship and offer an evaluation of performance. A student evaluation of this clerkship will be required upon completion.
