Overview: Students will split their elective time between the UAH and RAH. Students are not assigned to a preceptor, as Plastic Sx is a service-based elective wherein the resident team will assign elective experiences to the student based on what their interests are/what they would like exposure to. Students will get exposure to rounds, clinic, wards, consults, both adult and peds services, call, and the OR.
Objectives:

The student will learn how to assess, diagnose, and treat patients presenting with skin lesions, soft tissue injuries, soft tissue injections, hand issues, burns, and facial fractures.
Additional Notes:

Visiting Students: NETCARE ACCESS REQUIRED FOR THIS ELECTIVE:

Students MUST request access for Netcare A MINIMUM OF 6 WEEKS before the elective start date. Students who do not place this request before the 6 week deadline will not be granted access. Once visiting students have applied through the AFMC Student Portal and their elective is confirmed, a confirmation email will automatically be generated with further instructions and the online training link for Netcare.

AHS OR Nurse Educators have identified this mandatory AHS module on Laser Safety for anyone that is going to be in an OR theatre in which lasers are being used - predominantly Urology, Plastic Surgery and OHNS.   
This module takes about 15 minutes to complete with an exam at the end.  The OR Nurse Educators are keeping track of who has completed the module and exam.
