DCOM Selective

Third and fourth year Selective Physician Rotations are at sites designated by the Office of Clinical Education. Each student will be assigned to one physician/physician group to follow and work with faculty throughout their schedule of clinical activity. All physicians will be approved by the College of Osteopathic Medicine's Office of Clinical Education. The Office of Clinical Education will offer a pre-approved set of rotation sites from which students may choose the required Selective Rotations. Site evaluations are collected and reviewed. Selective rotations will include surgical and medical specialties or subspecialties.

The Third Year Selective Rotation in Surgery will be an extension of the Core Rotation in Surgery with students able to choose their rotation within a pre-approved list of surgical subspecialties. Students will actively participate in the evaluation and management of patients with common surgical disorders. Students will actively participate in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. Students are expected to participate in the operating room.
