Rotation Requirements and Curriculum
The general surgery residency at UNMC is designed to bolster skills in all learners to develop compassionate, effective leaders across surgical specialties and institutions of care. In addition to curricular and rotation-specific learning, experiences for all residents align with the following objectives:
- Develop strategies to effectively care for the surgical patient at all stages from diagnosis to follow-up care
- Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of relevant anatomy and surgical options for given surgical procedures
- Perform operative procedures under scaffolded supervision that are appropriate for training level
- Engage in the perioperative evaluation and management of relevant conditions
- When necessary, coordinate intervention of multiple specialties necessary to successful management of the surgical patient
- Within the discipline and across specialties, serve as an effective surgical team leader across phases of care
- For given training level, effectively manage treatment of surgical patients at each phase of patient care
a. Conduct initial patient evaluation
b. Identify and obtain appropriate diagnostic studies
c. Obtain indicated consultations
d. Create plan for appropriate management of patient care
e. If necessary, determine appropriate path of operative management based on indications for surgical intervention
f. Facilitate coordination and implementation of care for patients throughout the process
g. Perform relevant surgical procedures
Educational events to reach these broad learning objectives align with ACGME program requirements and follow the SCORE general surgery curriculum.
In addition to multiple evaluative tools to triangulate resident performance across post graduate years, the program holds semi-annual evaluations based on the ACGME Milestones.
