 The Sinai surgical residents will rotate in the Department of Pediatric
Surgery at DuPont Children�s Hospital during their 4th clinical year
(alternatively, if required by schedule, the resident may rotate during
the final months of his or her 3rd clinical year). The duration of
this rotation is six weeks.
The Sinai resident will be an integral member
of the Pediatric Surgery team, under the supervision of Pediatric Surgery
attending staff and working with experienced Pediatric Surgery mid-level
provider(s) and residents from other teaching institutions. (By the time
of the first rotation, DuPont Children�s may have started a Pediatric
Surgery fellowship; in that case, the resident will be supervised, taught
and working with that fellow as well.)
The surgical residents
will participate in all care rendered to inpatient Pediatric Surgery
patients at DuPont Children�s Hospital: admission, diagnostic workup,
operations, post-operative care and discharge. In addition, the surgical
residents will participate in the care/operations of Pediatric Surgery
patients during attending office hours.
 The surgical residents will attend the following educational
activities:
-
Morbidity and Mortality conference, weekly
-
Resident teaching conference, weekly
-
Tumor Board, weekly
-
Gastroenterology conference, weekly
-
Pathology conference, monthly
-
Trauma conference, monthly
In addition to this focused, high-level, high-volume Pediatric Surgery experience,
the Sinai surgery resident will be exposed throughout his or
her residency to Pediatric Surgery care and cases on the Red Surgery
service.
