Clerkship Coach is a tool for clinical teachers (surgeons and residents) to guide them in teaching clinical clerks on a general surgery rotation.
This app includes objectives that medical students should know before completion of their rotation.
It gives the teacher the diagnoses, sample questions they can ask, as well as useful tables, anatomy pictures, and radiologic imaging to guide teaching.
Diagnoses are grouped by common presenting complaint, and ranked by expected level of knowledge for a clinical clerk. This app is meant to assist teachers to lead a discussion around common presenting complaints, and does not provide answers to the questions.
This app was produced at the University of Ottawa based on objectives of the Canadian Undergraduate Surgical Education Committee and University of Ottawa Clerkship Objectives.
