Each elective student will participate in the education activities of the plastic surgery department including the following weekly conferences:
Each senior elective student will be assigned to a rotating schedule involving a attendance at one of the two major hospitals that participate in the Loma Linda University plastic surgery residency training program. At each institution a different weekly schedule may be observed.
Specific teaching materials will be made available to each student. These will include:
In addition, students will be given a list of reading selections relevant to plastic and reconstructive surgery, in the textbooks most widely used by junior and senior students.
Senior elective students will not be assigned call responsibility on a routine basis but may be asked to be prepared to be called in for interesting cases. Their own schedule will be separate from junior students who are on the plastic and reconstructive surgery rotation for their ambulatory specialty weeks. Elective students will also have access to the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Resource Center at the Loma Linda University Medical Center.
Visiting students will participate in a formal multiple choice quiz which is reviewed in an open book/discussion format with the plastic surgery chief resident. At the end of the elective rotation, all attending physicians who have participated with the elective student will provide composite evaluation of the student as per the plastic surgery elective evaluation form and a composite letter addressing their performance will be written.
