Make certain you are meant to be a surgeon. Are
you absolutely enthusiastic? Do you have the passion to continue
the journey? Would you let someone with your skills perform
minor surgery on you? Are you considering any subspecialty?
Are there necessary applications for any subspecialty you
are considering?
Are you accurate with most diagnoses, or is every final diagnosis
a surprise? Can you manage most clinical problems? Are
you self-motivated to supplement knowledge deficits, or
must you be motivated by a sledgehammer? The PGY3 resident
will spend two months on the Cardiac Surgery service of
Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where he/she will
gain experience in critical care management and cardiothoracic
operative cases. The remainder of the third-year resident's
time will be divided between MMC and NBIMC. PGY3 residents
are given high-quality magnifying loops to enable precise
vascular anastomoses, and a digital camera.
Do you retain new technical maneuvers that you see at surgery?
Which technical details require a lot more practice? You
will be given many opportunities to operate. Be ready.
Read the chart and read about the surgical details before
reaching the operating room.
Are you in the clinical research mode? Are you becoming a
good teacher? Do you enjoy reading about surgery? Have
you been writing quality clinical research papers?
