SURGERY 406C
Endocrine Surgery
Alberto Monreal
Description from DukeHub
The Endocrine Surgery Elective will allow fourth year medical students to be exposed to and participate in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care of endocrine surgery patients. This patient population encompasses a wide variety of benign, malignant, hormonally active, and hereditary endocrine diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and neuro-endocrine pancreas/systems which are evaluated in a multidisciplinary clinic along with medical endocrinology, oncology, pathology, genetics, and radiology. A working knowledge of these diseases and their multidisciplinary management is critical to a career in internal medicine or surgery. For more information about the course students should contact Dr. Randall Scheri at (contact listed in DukeHub). Students should report to Dr. Scheri's office located at 463 Seeley Mudd Building on the first day of class. Credit: 4. Enrollment max: 2. Randall P.
