Overview
The trauma surgery block is divided into three subdivisions. They are Trauma surgery, Vascular Surgery, and SICU. You will spend approximately one week in each of these subspecialties before completing the trauma surgery block. You are expected to preround on your patients in the morning before official rounds which typically start around 6a.m. You are responsible for seeing three patients at most but keep in mind that this may change depending on who you are rounding with. The patient list can be obtained from your intern/residents when you arrive in the morning. You are in charge of distributing the patients among yourselves. After rounds you will then follow the schedules below for your particlular subspecialty. Trauma call is every 4th day and then you get the day off post-call. Call starts at 7a.m. and ends at 7am the next day, so make sure you get a trauma pager and let the other people on your team know if there is a trauma call.
Trauma Call Day
Trauma Call (every 4th day): Whole team is on call from 7am-7am (officially- but it is closer to 10am), student role will very based on how vocal you are. Students typically responsible for exposing the patient (bust out those trauma shears!), assisting in positioning the patient for a thorough exam (log roll), preparing the patient for CT (transport monitor), and minor wound repair (dressing GSWs and minor laceration repairs).
