Service Guides

Every third year SKMC student must complete a six-week general surgery rotation. To help you excel at your rotation, we have compiled a few tips/tricks you can use to impress your attendings, wow your residents, and learn the most about the field for the shelf exam and beyond. If you find that any of the guides need substantial updates, feel free to email gibbonsurgsociety@gmail.com to let us know!
