Course Requirements

 

 

Case Logs

Students are required to keep daily logs of operative cases. While students choose which cases they view each day, these logs are periodically reviewed to ensure that each student's surgical experience is of adequate breadth. In addition to cases, students should log any other activities they participate in (e.g., clinics, procedures, radiologic studies, pathology review).

All Core Clinical Situations and Skilled Competencies will be logged under the Px/Dx menu on www.e-value.net

If procedures are not available in the Px/Dx options, they should be emailed to abutl2@lsuhsc.edu
