SURG 499 - Surgery Away Elective

[152 Hours]

Students planning an elective at an outside institution should be aware that different programs may have different academic schedules, so coordination is necessary to ensure that the required time spent for a specific institution fits within the LSU academic calendar. Most of the information regarding away electives is provided by the LSU Office of Student Affairs. There is a request form that is sent to the LSU Department of Surgery and we are happy to sign off for an approved surgical elective.
