Surgery
Welcome to Pediatric Surgery! Here are your Goals and Objectives.
The pedi surg team maintains a UMass Pediatric Surgery Google Drive to share rotation information, textbook chapters, algorithms, protocols, student/resident/attending didactic presentations, references/journal articles and on-going research within the division.
- Name: UMass Pediatric Surgery
- Login Email is: umasspediatricsurgery@gmail.com
- Password is: pedisurg
Other important things to know:
- Pediatric Surgery Didactic Conference: 7:30 am every Thursday
- Each intern, resident, medical student is expected to present a 15-20 minute talk on a topic of their choice. Attendings can help identify a good topic if there is uncertainty.
- Attendings will give the 4th talk of the month on a relevant topic
- Radiology conference: 8 am every Thursday
- PGY-4 should prepare a short narrative for patients being presented
- Pediatric Tumor Board: 3rd Thursday monthly 4-5 pm
- Run by Hematology-Oncology service. Residents may be asked to present patients if they have undergone surgery.
- Surgical CPC: 12-1 pm on the 5th Wednesday of months with 5 Wednesdays in H5-381
- Chief resident will be asked to present on a case of their selection from that month. Attendings can help identify good patients for this – interesting from a Radiographic, Pathologic and Pediatric perspective.
