General Surgery is a continuation of PHA 126-Introduction to Surgery, and covers diseases of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, circulatory system, and urogenital system.

Common orthopedic problems of the hand, knee, shoulder, and back are covered. Included is a practical session in casting. The Otolaryngology unit reviews the structure and functions of the ears, nose, parotid glands, oral cavity, and larynx. Emphasis is placed on the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of common ENT disorders.

Lectures will also cover the use of such basic diagnostic modalities as audiograms, tympanograms, direct and indirect nasopharyngoscopy.
