Congratulations to those involved with the Surgery clerkship, which recently received high ratings from graduating medical students in the AAMC graduation questionnaire, as did all UAB School of Medicine clerkship programs. Each year, graduating students are invited to complete a medical school graduation questionnaire regarding their medical school experience.  According to the 2017 questionnaire, 70.8 percent of last year’s graduating class rated UAB School of Medicine surgery clerkships as excellent, compared to only 47.7 percent of students nationally. Ratings have also significantly improved since 2013.

Dr. Richard StahlDr. Richard Stahl“We recently received the 2017 graduation questionnaire, and I felt there was a noteworthy achievement within the clerkships in general, and the surgery clerkship in particular,” said Surgery Clerkship Director Richard Stahl, M.D. “This, I think, is a testament to the dedication and engaging personality of our faculty and residents.”
