Burn

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Harborview Medical Center’s Burn Rotation

Within the General Surgery program, residents rotate through a Burn service within the UW Medicine Regional Burn Center at Harborview Medical Center.

The Burn Service Rotation is primarily a Chief Resident run service.

First year residents spend four weeks on this rotation while Chief residents spend 5 weeks.

The Chief Resident is responsible for running the inpatient service and outpatient clinic with direct and indirect supervision by the Burn Attendings and Burn Fellows and is expected to supervise and support the four to five first-year surgical residents in performing their clinical duties for the service.
