The Divisions of Soft Tissue Surgery and
Hyperbaric Medicine at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center (STC) treat
a large number of patients with complex soft tissue infections. During
their 3rd clinical year, the Sinai resident will spend four weeks on that
service. This rotation is designed to expose the resident to the management
of extensive (necrotizing) soft tissue infections in complex, multi-morbid
and morbidly obese patients, including operative debridement,
reconstruction, ICU management, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and outpatient
wound clinic. The rotation follows, in a natural progression, the Trauma rotation at
the STC, so that the resident does not have to relearn the infrastructure
of the institution and, therefore, competency-based learning is
maximized.
During the rotation, the resident will participate in the following
educational activities:
Resident core curriculum in Trauma and Critical Care: daily, one
hour
Morbidity and mortality conference in Trauma: weekly, one
hour
Trauma/Critical Care Grand Rounds: weekly, one hour (combined
with General Surgery Grand Rounds)
