J THE Section of Surgical Sciences is composed of the departments of:
Surgery, Dentistry, Neurosurgery, Oral Surgery, Otolaryngology, Pedi- atric Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery, and Urol- ogy.
These departments contribute to the interdepartmental course in methods in clinical science. Third-year students participate in a clinical clerkship in which they are assigned to the surgical divisions of Vander- bilt Hospital and Veterans Administration Hospital. Third-year surgical clerks also participate in a series of clinical case presentations. Fourth- year students are required to have one month of senior clerkship in general surgery or another surgical specialty.
Electives offered to students at various levels include such courses as:
human sexuality, and management of vascular surgical problems. Surgi- cal clerkships are offered to fourth-year students as electives at affiliated hospitals.
Other elective clerkships available to fourth-year students include:
neurological surgery, cardiovascular surgery, urology, pediatric surgery, clinical oncology, plastic surgery, renal transplantation, and oral surgery.
A laboratory research elective and a urology clinic seminar are also available to fourth-year students.
Required Courses
501. Methods in Clinical Science. An inter- departmental course designed to acquaint the student with the techniqu€s, methods, and basic principles necessary to take care- ful histories, perform thorough physical ex- aminations, and to understand and utilize basic laboratory procedures employed in clinical medicine. Students are divided into small tutorial groups for intensive work with patients on the wards at Vanderbilt Univer- sity Hospital, the Veterans Administration Hospital, and Nashville General Hospital.
Similar tutorial groups are utilized in the lab- oratory where students learn methods for
examining urine, blood, sputum, gastric contents, feces, and body fluids. An intro- duction to neurologic diagnostic methods is included in the course. Additional training is given in special problems which relate to examination of pediatric, surgical, and obstetrical patients. Radiological tech- niques are correlated with instructional ses- sions. Correlative sessions are interspersed with the above. In these sessions, methods by which the history, physical examination, and laboratory aids can be used to arrive at diagnosis and decisions regarding further study and treatment are conducted by inter- departmental groups.

Forten weeks each student in the third-year class is assigned to the surgical divisions of the Vanderbilt Uni- versity Hospital or Veterans Hospital. Under the direction and supervision of the staff. the student takes histories. does physical ex- aminations and assists the staff in the diag- nostic evaluation and clinical management of assigned patients. Half of each student's period of clinical work is in general surgery.
including oncology. vascular, and pediatric services. The other five weeks of the clinical assignment provide brief but concentrated rotations to services in neurosurgery. urol- ogy, ophthalmology, plastic-head and neck-and cardiac and thoracic surgery.
These rotations provide exposure to a vari-

ety of patients with problems in general sur- gery and in the special fields of surgery.
Teaching rounds are held daily by members of the staff. Students go with their patients to the operating rooms where they are obser- vers and assistants to the staff in surgery.
the surgical specialties, and anesthesiology.
Instruction in anesthesiology is given during operating room assignments by the mem- bers of that department. An integral part of this clerkship is the weekly three-hour as- signment in operative surgery conducted in the S.R. Light Laboratory for Surgical Re- search by the Department of Surgery.
503. Survey of Surgery.
A series of clinical presentations and lectures is given which is designed to present a broad view of the clinical fields of surgery. Illustrative case presentations are made by third-year surgi- cal clerks. These discussions stress the cor- relation between basic biologic structure and function, pathologic alterations. and clinical manifestations. One hour per week for four academic units.
