A. COURSE INFO
Surgery Clerkship Course is a 10 weeks course, preceptor based clerkship,
divided into 8 groups of primary preceptor.
The site directors at each teaching site bear the primary responsibility for the
development and maintenance of a program to fulfill the learning objectives of the
Externships in Medicine. The coordinator is responsible for organizing the tutorials and
seminars and encouraging faculty members to take the expected approach toward
student involvement in seminars and tutorials. Since there are differences in student
responsibilities for Surgery, directors will also reinforce at the beginning of each period,
with the attending physician (preceptor) and RMOs, the objectives to be met by the
students assigned to their ward team. Each student is part of a medical team usually
consisting of one or two RMOs, assistants, and a preceptor.
Students attend morning work rounds each day and participate in attending
rounds as scheduled. Students also work 1 night in maximum of 3 duty schedules. The
preceptor has the primary responsibility for educating students assigned to the ward
team. The immediate day-to-day supervisor for students is the assistant. All of the
physician-teachers with whom the student has contact are expected to serve as positive
role models.
Students are expected to do a work-up (complete medical records) with a
minimum of ten patients during the rotation (1 case every week). More cases may be
assigned. Students should attempt to complete their history taking and physical
examinations within 60 minutes.
Bedside Teaching
Students and preceptor will have dedicated and protected 90 minutes (1.5 hour)
of Bedside teaching activities. Students should prepare them-self for the case and
let the preceptor knows which patient is taken as bedside teaching patient.
Student should be able to take a comprehensive history, good physical
examination, established provisional and differential diagnosis, plan treatment
and educate patient and their family. Each student will have at least 20 times bed
site teaching with different preceptor.
The preceptor uses the one-minute preceptor’s method consisting several steps:
1. Get a commitment
2. Probe for supporting evidence
3. Reinforce what was done well
4. Give guidance about errors and omissions
3
5. Teach a general principle
6. Conclusion
4
conclude that all patients in a similar clinical situation may behave in the same
way or require the exact same treatment. On the other hand, the student may be
unable to identify an important general principle that can be applied effectively
in the future. Brief teaching specifically focused to the encounter can be very
effective. Even if you do not have a specific medical fact to share, information on
strategies for searching for additional information or facilitating admission to the
hospital can be very useful to the learner.
Step 6: Conclusion
This final step serves the very important function of ending the teaching
interaction and defining what the role of the student will be in the next events. It
is sometimes easy for a teaching encounter to last much longer than anticipated
with negative effects on the remainder of the patient care schedule. The
preceptor must be aware of time and cannot rely on the student to limit or cut off
the interaction. The roles of the learner and preceptor after the teaching
encounter may need definition. In some cases you may wish to be the observer
while the learner performs the physical or reviews the treatment plan with the
patient. In another instance you may wish to go in and confirm physical findings
and then review the case with the patient yourself. Explaining to the learner
what the next steps will be and what their role is will facilitate the care of the
patient and the functioning of the learner.
Feedback
Since ongoing feedback is fundamental to a successful educational relationship,
students should feel free to ask about their progress. Feedback from faculty and
residents to students is extremely important in providing the opportunity to
improve clinical performance. During the Externships in Medicine, students will
be expected to initiate meetings at mid-rotation, first with their supervising
resident (if assigned) and then with their attending physician, to discuss both
strengths and areas needing improvement. The content of this feedback is
outlined in the Evaluation forms for this course.
A similar process should occur at the end of the rotation so that the student,
resident and faculty can discuss the student’s progress relative to the mid-
rotation assessment and the Course Objectives. These student-initiated sessions
should make the feedback process more efficient, effective, and palatable for the
faculty and residents; and equally important, promote student self-assessment
through analysis of specific examples of their own performance

Weekend duty will be from 07.00 hours to 07.00 hours on weekends
(divided in 2 shifts)
Students must standby in the Emergency every night/holiday duty. Students
may leave on permission from the RMO on duty or the preceptor.
If the student leave without permission from the RMO on duty or the
preceptor, there will be consequence
add 2 more night shift (arranged by the Clerkship Coordinator)
failed to fulfill the consequence = one week of rotation + Rotational OSCE
in the next surgery rotation.

Students will be on duty a maximum of one night/weekend in three (1 in 3
duty schedules)
b. Students are allowed 1 hour for meals.
c. Students must attend all patient care and academic activities.
Students must attend all activities on time. If students will be late, they must
notify the preceptor. Repeated lateness is not acceptable. Continued lateness
after warning, may result in failure of the rotation. Students are required to
notify the supervisor if they will be late or unable to attend. Any lateness
more than 15 minutes without permission before will be treat as ABSENT
(including on morning report)
d. Students must complete all rotations as scheduled.
e. Students must complete all reports and presentation to be able to attend the exit
OSCE.
f. Students must already do the ward rounds individually or by team before the
preceptor and write their SOAP in the students follow up sheets (yellow paper) in
the patient’s chart.
g. Students must complete the “must do” and “must see” list accordingly.
h. Students must always give the performance and clinical skills sheet every time they
finished a presentation/BST/performing a clinical skill.
i. Students must report to the duty RMO every time they do the night/holiday duty.
There will be ward and emergency station, and each of the student only take care of
the surgical patient.
j. There are Ward Rounds with the general surgeon every Wednesday 9.00, and every
clerkship must do oral presentation for each patients they responsible.
k. Morning Report for clerkship is on Tuesday 07.00 O’Clock.
l. Students must collect the morning report book every Tuesday morning (before the
morning report starts). The book will be written every day by a student after
completing a night/holiday duty.
m. All students wishing a leave or withdrawal from a rotation must receive permission
and written approval from the Clerkship Coordinator.
n. Leave or absent ≥ 3 days will not allowed to take the OSCE examination
o. Leave or absent ≥ 6 days the student must repeat one full rotation
p. Students will discuss all significant matters with the preceptor.

approximately halfway along the needle holder.
9. Hold the surgical tweezers in a pencil grip in one hand. In the other, hand take
the needle holder.
23
10. Using the tweezers, grip the edge of the wound furthest from you; to minimize
tissue damage, the side of the tweezers with one tooth should be placed in the
wound margin and the side with two teeth should be placed in the skin.
11. Position the needle perpendicularly on the skin approximately 0.5 cm from the
wound margin and insert through the skin.
12. With a supinating hand motion, bring the needle through the wound margin in
an arc, similar to the curve of the needle. For wounds that do not extend beyond

the wound.
14. Pull the needle through the skin and out of the wound in a curved path.
15. Reposition the needle in the correct position in the needle holder.
16. Pull the thread through the skin, leaving a sufficient amount to be tied later
(about 2 cm if tying with the needle holder or at least 10 cm if tying by hand).
17. Using the tweezers, grip the edge of the wound closest to you and turn the
wound margin outward.
24
18. With a curving motion, insert the needle into the wound margin bringing it as
deep along the wound bed as possible, and continue through until the needle
point appears through the skin.
19. Open the needle holder when it is adjacent to the wound margin and use it to
grip the needle again on the outer side of the skin.
20. Pull the needle in a curved path through the tissue using the tweezers to fixate
the exiting point of the needle in the wound.
21. Using thumb and forefinger, grip the needle securely and open the needle holder.
25
22. Tie the thread in a knot with the aid of needle holder.

C. Male Catheter Insertion
General Objectives
Definition
Urinary Catheterization is an introduction of a catheter through urethra into the bladder, with
the purpose(s) :
To relieve urine retention
To empty the bladder before, during and after surgery and before certain diagnostic
examinations.
To decompress the abdomen
To monitor urine output precisely, hence monitoring the peripheral circulation
To measure the precise amount of post-void residual urine in the bladder.
To insert medicine to the bladder ( Intravesical chemotherapy )
To get sterile specimen of the urine when other means are not possible
Infection
Trauma of the urethra ( especially for male urinary catheterization )
Equipments:
Sterile Equipments :

balloon.
28
4. Desinfect the genital area and the surroundings in the circular fashion
7. Insert the catheter into the urethra until it reaches the distal tip of the catheter. If it
is difficult, told the patient to inhale.Sometimes we need to add more jelly if the
insertion is difficult.
29
8. Hold the penis and catheter with the left hand while we insert the sterile aquabidest
10-15cc to inflate the balloon therefore we fixate the catheter.
9. Connect the catheter with urine bag and observe the urine production. If urine
sample is needed to be taken to the laboratory, take it from the first production
30
C. MODULES

a. Review the abdominal quadrant and pathogenesis of referred pain in the
abdomen
b. List at least three conditions which cause acute right lower abdominal pain in
female and male patients
c. Develop the features of the illness script for acute appendicitis
d. Develop hypothesis generation and diagnostic reasoning process for acute
appendicitis
e. Differentiate among 3 conditions on a clinical basis

32
Case Based Discussion (CBD ) : Pursue discussion of alternate diseases
Possible Diseases for acute right lower abdominal pain
o For Female Patients
a. Acute appendicitis
b. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy
c. Torsion of the ovarian cyst
d. Pelvic Inflammatory disease
e. Renal/ Ureter colic due to ureterolithiasis
f. Infection of the urinary tract
33
o Distinguishing Features of Illnesses
Distinguishing features of considered Differential Diagnosis:
o Acute appendicitis as the primary disease
a) commonly associated with migratory/ referred pain at the epigastric
region ( visceral pain)
b) accompanied symptoms are nausea and vomiting, anorexia, and fever
c) tenderness and rebound tenderness of right lower quadrant are found in
the physical examination
d) leukocytosis and shift to the left in differential count is usually found
34
o Infection of the urinary tract
a. dysuria and cloudy urine usually prominent
b. could be accompanied with passing stone and hematuria
c. The pain is concentrated in the suprapubic, not in the right side of the
right lower abdomen
Management Options
For study guide purposes, you may list management options and reasons for
choosing them.
1. Principle : Since the disease is caused by acute obstruction of the appendix
lumen and it will progress to rupture of the appendix, then the treatment is
removal of the appendix via operation (appendectomy)
2. Treatment options
a. Open appendectomy, good exposure but bad cosmetic appearance, longer
length of stay in the hospital.
b. Laparoscopic appendectomy, good cosmetic appearance with shorter
length of stay in the hospital.

region, it never reaches the scrotal region. No disturbances of bowel passage. At
PE, the lump is found in the medial side of superficial epigastric artery, in the 3
finger test the lump comes from the medial side.
In most male patients, Lower Urinary Tract Syndrome (LUTS) should be sought
(asked in history taking, enlargement of prostate was assessed in physical
examination). History of chronic cough and repetitive heavy weight lifting should
be asked.
In female patients, the lump should be assessed if it is below (femoral hernia) or
upper(inguinal hernia) the inguinal ligament. It should be asked in history
taking, assessed in physical examination.
2. Femoral Hernia
a. Location of the lump should be asked whether it came from below
(femoral hernia ) or upper (inguinal hernia)
b. Femoral hernia is seldom found in reponible condition.
c. Risk factors of femoral hernia should be asked as multipara (give birth to
more than 5 children)
38
3. Testicular tumor
a. The lump didn’t enlarge with straining
b. symptoms of chronic malignant disease might be appear ( chronic fatigue,
weight loss, anemia)
4. Orchitis
a. acute, sharp pain at testicular region
b. symptoms of infection might be positive ( fever, malaise, leukocytosis)
c. symptoms of urinary tract infection might be positive ( polakisuria,
dysuria, hematuria)
d. Signs of infection at the testicular region might be positive ( tumor calor
rubor dolor)
Management Options
For study guide purposes, you may list management options and reasons for choosing
them
1. Principle: Since the disease is caused by the weakness of the abdominal muscles
due to constant straining causing the opening of inguinal canal, therefore the
definitive treatment of reponible inguinal hernia is to ligate the hernia sac
(herniotomy) and enhance the strength of abdominal muscle surround the
hernia sac with mesh (hernioplasty). The procedure of herniotomy accompanied
with hernioplasty is called herniorhaphy.
2. Treatment options
o open herniotomy + insertion of mesh, acceptable cosmetic appearance
o Laparoscopic herniotomy and insertion of mesh, good cosmetic
appearance

3. Breast Lump
Purpose:
To facilitate process of teaching/learning Clinical Reasoning for breast lump.
Symptom:
palpable breast lump
Case:
A 42 years old female patient who presents with 1 month of palpable lump at her
right/left/bilateral breast (real patient/prepared paper case/role-play).
Periodically during history taking, the preceptor will explore the student’s
inquiry process and hypothesis development.
The real patient will be examined and the preceptor will explore the student’s
hypothesis generation
39
Learning objectives:
1. Review the anatomy of the breast and axilla
2. List at least three conditions which cause palpable lump at the breast
3. Develop the features of the illness script for palpable breast lump
4. Develop hypothesis generation and diagnostic reasoning process for malignant
breast tumor
5. Be able to differentiate between the 3 conditions on a clinical basis and to
describe the identifying clinical features of each
6. Provide a management plan for the primary disease consideration
40
How will you differentiate these 3 conditions on history?
What will you look for on PE (or if a patient) what are the factors from
examination?
What investigations that you order-and what do you expect to find which will
support your diagnosis?
What is the most possible complication of the disease?
What is the natural history of the disease?
41
o Rapid enlarging lump
o Biopsy : no malignant cell
Management Options
a. Principle: Since the lump is caused by uncontrolled hyperproliferation of the cell
and it will progress to spread of the malignant cell to the distant tissues
(metastases) unless it is taken, then the treatment is removal of the tumor via
operation, also for the biopsy purpose. If it is proven to be malignant then
mastectomy is indicated.
b. Treatment options
o FNAB continued with modified radical mastectomy
o open biopsy examined for frozen section continued with modified
radical mastectomy

a. Principle : Since the disease is caused by inflammation of whole abdominal
peritoneum due to contamination of fecal and purulent materials, therefore the
definitive treatment of diffuse peritonitis is to control the source of infection
(Closure of perforation of ileum, followed by debride all the gastric fecal and
purulent material from the abdominal cavity. This source control achieved by
emergency exploratory laparotomy.
b. Treatment options
open exploratory laparotomy with wedge excision + closure with primary
suture/ileostomy of ileal perforation

Management Options
For study guide purposes, you may list management options and reasons for choosing
them
a. Principle :
BPH is aging process that happened in almost every male patient. The principle
of treatment is to reduce the volume of prostate, could be reached by several
options that discussed below.
b. Treatment options
Watchful waiting: Usually reserved for those patients with minimal
symptoms (AUA-PSS < 7) from their BPH. No medications, but the patient
have to see their physicians regularly for physical examinations and routine
laboratory tests.
Medications : the principle is to reduce the volume of the prostate, hence
will reduce the signs and symptoms of BPH
o Alpha-adrenergic receptor blockers
o 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
o Herbal medications
Operations: Since the symptoms of obstruction and irritation is caused by
enlargement of prostate ( mechanical problem) and some are intractable
with medications, then for the patient with BPH with several indications
are mandatory for operation:
o BPH patient that presented with LUTS with IPSS Score >19
o BPH patient that presented with LUTS with complications
o BPH Patient with history of twice urinary retention

Information and Take home points: Principles and Concepts
Possible disease:
o Hypovolemic Shock (3rd/4th grade, might be rapid response, transient response
and no response) due to intra-abdominal bleeding due solid organ rupture due
to liver rupture
o Clinical diagnosis of this condition is made by :
There is clear hypovolemic Shock with mechanism of trauma: injury at
the right side of the body. Signs of injury sustained is visible at the right
side ( multiple lower rib fractures), hematoma, contusions at the right
upper quadrant of the abdomen. Degree of trauma is visible at open
exploration or at abdominal CT scan, and graded by the AAST (American
Association Surgery of Trauma) Criteria for Abdominal Solid Organ
Rupture.
54
c. Signs of injury sustained are visible at the pelvic region: i.e. hematoma,
contusions at the lower quadrant of the abdomen. Might be injury to
containing organs at the pelvic regions, for instance urethral ruptures,
perianal trauma, etc.
d. Degree of trauma is visible at open exploration or at pelvic CT scan, and
graded by the AAST (American Association Surgery of Trauma) Criteria
for Pelvic Injury.
Management Options
List management options and reasons for choosing them
Principle :
To identify what grade is the hypovolemic shock (1, 2, 3, and 4). If the
hypovolemic shock is 3rd or 4th grade:
1. Aggressive Fluid Resuscitation and blood replacement
2. Identify source(s) of bleeding. If the bleeding is external, treatment must
include how to stop external bleeding.
3. Identify the response to fluid resuscitation and blood replacement
i. Rapid response
ii. Transient response
iii. No response
55
4. Identify the needs of surgical resuscitation. When the aggressive fluid
resuscitation and blood replacement failed, then the patient needs
surgery resuscitation.
Treatment options
1. Aggressive Fluid Resuscitation and blood replacement ,along with control
of external bleeding
2. Surgical Resuscitation :
o Exploratory laparotomy for intra-abdominal bleeding.
o Pelvic sling, C-clamp for pelvic trauma
o Thoracic tube insertion,
o Exploratory Thoracotomy for intra thoracic bleeding.
o Exploratory laparotomy or renal exploration (retroperitoneal
approach) for renal trauma

8. Multiple Trauma
Purpose:
Actual diagnosis:
Decreased Consciousness or
Multiple wounds at 2 or more body regions
Case:
A 30 years old male patient who presents with history of falling from 5 stories in
the building project 1 hour before admissions, with history of lucid interval is positive.
Now the patient’s familty is complaining about decreased consciousness, wound at back
and femoral area. (real patient/prepared paper case/role-play).. Periodically during
history taking, the preceptor will explore the student’s inquiry process and hypothesis
development
The patient came with gurgling airway not responding with suction and need
intubation
The patient’s breathing is rapid and shallow breathing. The breath sound is still
equal but there is signs of bruising and crepitation in the left thoracic side. O2 sat is
93%
The skin is pale, cool with BP 80/60 mmHg, HR 120x/m, Urine: no production
after insertion of bladder catheter. No sign of hematuria
The GCS is E3M4V3=10, round pupil but unequal with size 5mm for the right
pupil, 3m for the left pupil. Good light reflexes. Equal motoric and sensoric strength.
57
At secondary survey :
There is deformity at the right mandibular, and much blood clot at the oral
region. There is hematoma at the right temporal.There is bruising and crepitation in the
left thoracic side starting from the 4-6 th thoracic ribs, but normal vesicular breath
sound. Clear abdomen There is lacerated wound at the lumbal area at approximately 3rd
lumbal, base of the wound is subcutaneous fat, irregular edge, size about 3x4x2cm, no
active bleeding. There is lacerated wound and deformity at the left femoral area, with
base of the wound is anterior quadriceps muscle, irregular edge,size about 5x4x3cm,
there is continuous bleeding from the wound.
The real patient will be examined and the preceptor will explore the student’s
hypothesis generation
Learning objectives:
1. Review the primary survey, the assessment and therapy that done in primary
survey.
2. Review the secondary survey, the assessment and therapy that done in
secondary survey.
3. In concordance with primary and secondary survey, ask the student for history
taking for the multiple trauma patient : Mechanisms of trauma, Injury sustained,
and Degree of Trauma(MIST)

Teaching Diagnostic Reasoning for Patient with Multiple Trauma
Periodically during patient history or role-play for history taking, the preceptor will
check the inquiry process by asking questions while the student is obtaining data for an
illness script, as these questions explore the process of hypothesis development :
o What is important to do with this acute, multiple trauma patient, and how you
will provide quick and live saving management for the patient?
What is important to do with the secondary survey, and how will you find the
possible cause of hypoxia in the secondary survey?
o What investigations that you order-and what do you expect to find which will
support your diagnosis?
59
Case Based Discussion (CbD ) : Pursue discussion of alternate diseases
Possible disease:
There is clear sign of hypoxic condition due to multiple trauma due to high
impact injury, with mechanism of trauma: falling from 5 stories. Signs of injury
sustained is as explained in the secondary survey above. Degree of trauma is visible at
thoracic x-ray, Femoral x-ray, Lumbal x-ray,head CT Scan, and intracranial blood
volume could be measured with the head CT scan.
Management Options
Principle:
Treatment options
60
1. Airway suction, if failed then consider endotracheal intubation, with barton sling
for the right mandible fracture
2. Oxygenation with face mask non rebreathing, ventilation if needed ( as seen in
the clinical condition and blood gas analysis result)
3. Aggressive Fluid Resuscitation and blood replacement ,along with control of
external bleeding ( compression of open femoral fractures with adequate
bandages)
4. Close monitoring of the GCS and pupil size along the resuscitation. If there is sign
of intracranial hypertension, probably burrhole drainage is needed.
5. Surgical Resuscitation :
When there is active bleeding from the femoral artery, probably surgical
control of the bleeding is needed.
When the epidural hematoma is expanding and there is adequate signs of
intracranial hypertension, burrhole drainage or craniotomy is needed.

D. ASSESMENT
Final Grade
30% of the grade will be based upon clinical activities as evaluated by primary
preceptor, division preceptor, attending, RMO, and nurses (global assessment)
30% of the grade will be based on OSCE
15% of the grade will be based on medical record evaluation
25% of the grade will be based on case presentation
Failure
Failing grades can be assigned based on:
a. Professionalism,
b. Unsatisfactory Clinical Performance or
c. Failure of the written exam(s).
In the event a student fails the OSCE Exam, the student will be allowed to repeat the
exam without repeating the course (assuming clinical performance was
acceptable). Failure to submit the rotation duty (Case Presentation/Refferat) will
result in failing to go through the OSCE. A second failure will require remediation of
the entire clerkship. If a student fails both of the exams will be reviewed on an
individual basis and the student may be asked to remediate the entire clerkship. If
a student’s performance is judged “below expectations” in any area on any final
evaluation, all of the evaluations and any other pertinent information about
student’s performance will be carefully reviewed by the Medicine Clerkship
Committee who will then determine the grade. If a student is assigned a grade of
Fail, he/she must follow the procedures outlined by the Medical School. If a
student’s performance on the clerkship was passing but marginal, further review of
the students overall medical school performance may be recommended.
62
Absence
Each student is assigned to a team and is expected to function as a responsible
member of that team. Any unexcused absence may result in a failing grade.
Absence for any reason but illness or emergency must be approved ahead of time
by the hospital coordinator. An opportunity to make up required work will be
provided when such absences are cumulatively less than one week in length.
Absence for more than two weeks for any reason will automatically result in the
student having to repeat the entire externship. Absences of one to two weeks
will be handled on an individual basis by the hospital coordinator and course
director. Prior approval from the hospital site coordinator is required. If for
some reason, a student misses the OSCE exam, the only option for taking this will
be to wait for the next administration 10 weeks later at the conclusion of the
next clerkship.
