| Unit Description |
As part of a pre-internship year, this unit develops the skills required in surgery and emergency medicine for independent clinical practice, by giving students the opportunity to review and apply previously learned topics.
In relation to surgery the focus in this unit is orthopaedic surgery with some exposure to other surgical areas. The unit will be delivered through clinical attachments and small group tutorials. Students will learn the assessment, diagnosis and management of patients presenting with common orthopaedic conditions.
In relation to emergency medicine, students will observe and participate in the assessment and management of common medical emergencies. Students will be expected to participate in the Emergency Department (ED) at a level similar to the work requirements they will be experiencing in postgraduate year 1 (PGY1). Students will also develop clinical skills, administrative skills and knowledge required for PGY1s including; rational planning of investigations, when to refer patients to medical and surgical teams within the hospital, liaison with general practitioners and a focus on early treatment of the undifferentiated patient.
