All third year and fourth year students on General Surgical clerkships or acting internships will be required to attend the Department of Surgery core conferences which include the Morbidity and Mortality conference and Surgery Grand Rounds. Morbidity and Mortality conferences are held weekly on Thursday morning from 7:00 am to 8:00 am. This conference consists of case presentations from the surgical residents with discussion of the surgical rationale and expected outcome for these cases. In addition, from 8:00 to 8:30, there is an educational conference which consists of discussion between the faculty, residents and students on a specific topic in general surgery.
Once a month, the educational conference will focus on Professionalism and Ethics (general discussion based on an article that all are assigned to read). These articles are available on the Department of Surgery website under Calender of Events and can be downloaded or printed for your convenience. Surgical Grand Rounds are held on the first and third Fridays of each month at 12:00 noon. These didactic presentations are given by surgical residents or attending faculty both from the surgery department and from other institutions.
Students are also invited to voluntarily attend the monthly Journal Club meetings which are typically held in Hillsboro, ND on the third Tuesday of the month in the evening. The meetings are held during the months of August - November and February - May. Residents and faculty gather to discuss recently published articles on various topics. The flyers and articles for discussion are available on the Department of Surgery website under Calender of Events and can be downloaded or printed for your convenience. Dinner is provided by the Department.
