Content

Stevens Point is approximately 100 miles north of Madison on I-39 with easy access to all parts of the state. The site has hosted PA students from Marquette and other UW programs. Hospital and clinic offer excellent service and support providing a high quality teaching environment for interested and motivated students. The preceptorship is geared toward working in a smaller town Orthopedic Surgery practice. During the 6 week rotation, 3 weeks (minimum) will be spent on the Orthopedic Surgery Service. Call responsibilities will mirror preceptor (approximately 1 in 3 or 1 in 4). Weekend call variable (average of 1 in 3 to 1 in 4). Students will assist, round on and work up surgical servcie patients. Opportunity to improve and/or build basic surgical skills. The other 3 weeks may be spent in General Surgery or some other hospital-based specialty service, which can be arranged with the preceptor. Past students have elected to spend time in
General Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia, Radiology and hospital-based Medicine. Emphasis is placed on hands-on experience for the student at the judgement of the preceptor. This is a good opportunity for those interested in the surgical field or wish to see a different side of surgery as compared to a tertiary setting and to hone clinical skills in preparation for residency, in which the medical student must learn to move on a more autonomous path. Clinical supervision will always be present. Planning the clinical course, ordering and instigating appropriate therapies and procedures will be supervised by the preceptor.
