Fourth Year Medical Students
NSURG 418 - Neurosurgery Acting-Internship (LSU and Visiting Students)
Clinical Neurosurgery Elective - NSURG 418
Departmental acting internships allow LSUHSC medical students, as well as students from other medical schools, to have a four-week experience on the LSUHSC neurosurgical service. Participants are senior medical students who are interested in pursuing a career in neurosurgery. The sub-interns usually spend two weeks on each of the neurosurgery services at both University Medical Center and West Jefferson. During this time, they make rounds with the residents, accompany faculty and residents in the operating room, work-up patients for critique by the resident and attending staff, and prepare presentations for didactic conference (see link on left sidebar for more information).
Visitng medical students must submit their application through the Visiting Student Application Services (VSAS) to be considered for the rotation. For questions, please contact the Program Director, Dr. John Steck, MD, or the Program Coordinator, Chelsea David.
