Course/Module description:
The 4th year clinical rotation is a clinical course, which combines teaching (frontal and bedside), self-learning and clinical exposure. During the rotation students accompany the staff on rounds, in the operating room, in the clinics and in the emergency dept. Throughout the clerkship there will be an emphasis on clinical work: admissions and presentation of cases, discussing patients, evaluation of lab results and imaging studies, differential diagnosis and treatment plan.

Course/Module aims:
The aim of the general surgery 4th year rotation is to prepare students to identify clinical situations requiring surgical interventions, to be proficient in the steps required to prepare the patient for intervention, and be aware of dangers, potential complications and benefits of surgical treatments.

Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
1.Describe in professional terms anatomy and pathophysiology of common surgical conditions
2.Manage common cases requiring surgical intervention, detail indications for surgical treatment and compare advantages and disadvantages to no surgical treatment (including risks and potential benefits)
3.Collect information (medical interview) which will facilitate decision making regarding the diagnosis.
4.Perform a focused physical exam to arrive at the diagnosis
5.Choose auxiliary tests which will help reach diagnosis and interpret common and pathological findings of the tests
6.Explain the clinical thought process including differential diagnosis according to reasonable probability of common surgical problems
7.Detect acute surgical conditions and describe the thought process leading to the decision regarding the best initial treatment (detail the most likely etiology of the problem)
8.Detail the steps to be taken at the time of admission of a patient for elective surgery, from the time of admission, through the operating room and up to discharge
9.Present a patient orally in a professional, acceptable and correct language, giving a concise, coherent clinical description of the history, findings on clinical exam and auxiliary tests, while discussing the most relevant differential diagnosis at each step.
10.Demonstrate the required professionalism and skills required in the operating room including sterile technique, assistance in various operations and basic suturing skills
11.Identify and discuss ethical and cultural dilemmas in surgical public health including: elements of informed consent for surgical intervention, equality in treatment, accessibility, informed consent, ethics and law in surgery
12.Correctly and critically utilize sources of information, including electronic, and apply the information available in the surgical literature to decision making
13.Communicate respectfully with colleagues, staff, patients and their families, while demonstrating a patient oriented approach
