First Visiting Surgery Student Rotates at UC Daniel C.M. Williams, a 4th year medical student at Meharry Medical College in Tennessee, was the first Surgery Visiting Student as part of the Minority Visiting Student Program. Daniel rotated in the SICU. His future aspiration: General Surgery. The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Minority Student Development Program in the Department of Surgery, sponsored by the Mont Reid Surgical Society, is designed to increase medical student awareness of opportunities in academic medicine, to increase student consideration of surgical academic training programs for internship and residency, and, especially, to increase the number of minority students applying to surgical training programs. This program is open to fourth-year minority medical students. Onemonth electives are scheduled at University of Cincinnati Medical Center and affiliated hospitals. Students interested in applying for a general surgery residency position at the University Hospital in Cincinnati will have the opportunity to view the facility, interact with our residents and staff, and participate in a quality learning experience in one of the nation’s leading general surgery programs. For information on the Minority Visiting Student Program, please visit our website at http://surgery.uc.edu/minority.html or call 513-558-2134. Daniel Williams and Ken Davis, Jr., M.D., at the bedside of a patient in the SICU. “My surgery chairman, Dr. Steven Stain, recommended that I try to do an away elective at UC due to its strong reputation for training excellent surgeons. My rotation at UC consisted of one month in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit. I was responsible for following my own critically ill patients, which included admitting, assessing, treating, and helping to create a plan for the patient’s care. I was also allowed to perform supervised bedside procedures. The rotation also included multiple teaching conferences and lectures each week, which allowed me to expand my knowledge base outside of what I was learning inside the SICU.” -- Daniel C.M.
