Third year medical students (n=26) participated in a pilot program of an entirely outpatient multispecialty clinic experience. Overall, 61 percent of outpatient encounters involved a surgical diagnosis currently managed entirely on an outpatient basis, illustrating the importance of this setting in broad student exposure to surgery and surgical specialties.
