Internship Surgery II
Objectives and content
In the internships of master year 1 and 2 discipline-bound deepening and intensification of content takes center stage. The learning outcomes for the internships of the bachelor phase apply to the internships in master year 1 and 2 as well, but on a higher level:

• Learning to work ‘independently’ while taking some responsibility
• Greater mastery of discipline-related content

Work formats and weekly schedule
The internship takes six weeks fulltime and depending on the internship placement, is alternately spent in the outpatient ward, emergency ward and clinic. A professional training day takes place once a week (on Friday) for discipline-bound training and Conceptual Reasoning in Medicine.
Professional training days
Strictly speaking, a part of the education taking place on the professional training days is part of the internship itself. The other part is Conceptual Reasoning in Medicine which is an independent longitudinal programme running parallel to the internships.
Programme professional training days:

• Six professional training days: each Friday from 10 am.
• Mornings: Discipline-bound education Surgical topics
• Afternoons: Conceptual Reasoning in Medicine (see the CRM course materials)

Discipline-bound Education Surgery II:
The following topics are alternately covered during the Discipline-Bound training (general overview):

• Vascular surgery: AAA’s, carotis/extracranial vascular surgery

• Orthopaedics: examination of locomotor system, arthroscopy, research/lab
