This supervised clinical practice experience (SCPE) provides students with an opportunity to actively engage in applying the knowledge and skills gained during the didactic phase of their education to evaluate and treat pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative patients in a surgical setting. This experience will foster the student’s ability to differentiate between surgical (including acute versus elective) versus nonsurgical presentations.
