Anesth | | MDE 8700 Anesthesiology Elective Objective: The primary objective of this course is to introduce the student(s) to the practical/hands on approach to anesthesiology with emphasis on airway management, respiratory physiology, cardiovascular physiology, perioperative management, and invasive procedures.
Medical students are expected to make preoperative rounds with the anesthesiology staff on patients scheduled for surgery. Preoperative examinations and assessments of patients are expected. Participation in the decisions of anesthetic drugs and anesthesia choice are required. Students will assist in the preparation of the patients for surgery which include starting IV’s, connecting monitoring equipment, learning the pharmacology of various anesthestic agents, and learn to problem solve basic anesthetic situations. Emphasis on airway management include placement of LMAs, LTDs, masking patients, and intubation via direct laryngoscopy and video laryngosocpy. Invasive procedures include arterial line insertions and central line placement. An introduction to peripheral regional blocks will be included for those students that express an interest. Students will follow their patients throughout the anesthetic care into the postoperative recovery for continuity of care.
The course is directed towards medical students who plan to enter Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine, or Emergency Medicine. The course emphasis will be tailored to the medical specialty the extern expects to enter and the skill set of the student. Excellent hand-eye coordination is a must for this course, since students are expected to perform procedures on patients. | LVHN | 1 - 11 | Yr 4 Status | 1 | 0 | 50 | 2,4 | Schwann, Nan | Clinical |

Family Med | | MDE 8104 Complex Care in the Community The Neighborhood Health Centers of the Lehigh Valley (NHCLV) is a Federally Qualified Community Health Center serving the under-served community of Allentown. Understanding health in a broad context, we seek to partner with our patients and community to build skills for stronger families and a healthier community. In June of 2012, NHCLV along with three other sites around the country entered into a partnership with Dr. Jeff Brenner’s Camden Coalition of Health Care Providers to develop outreach teams and community support based on Dr. Brenner’s innovative work in Camden. Teams work intensively with “Superutilizers” who have multiple hospitalizations and a tangled story of poverty, isolation and co-morbidity. NHCLV has partnered with Congregations United for Neighborhood Action (CUNA), Community Exchange Timebank and Parish Nursing Coalition to meet our superutilizers when and where they need us most – in the hospitals, in medical offices, in their homes and communities – to develop the relationships and understanding they need to break the pattern of high cost, low value interaction with fragmented systems of care. This elective is designed to introduce senior students to comprehensive, relationship centered care for complex patients in community settings. At the intersection of community health and primary care, students will work with our Outreach Teams as health coaches and story gatherers to partner with patients and learn from the patient's point of view what it takes to live a good life in the face of complex illness. Students will participate in daily team rounds, home visits, accompany patients to specialist and primary care visits, and Students will also have opportunities to work closely with our community engagement including our Timebank service exchange and community organizing. In addition, students will have opportunities to practice in our community health center.Objectives:Identify social determinants of health across the lifespan that contribute to complex illnessWalk with patients and describe how healthcare systems designed to help sometimes hurt peopleDevelop empathy and deeper understanding by creating digital stories with patients about their lives and healthcare experiencesDevelop skills in health coaching for self management of complex health issues using motivational interviewing techniquesCompare and contrast NHCLV Superutilizer program with other programs serving similar populationsReflect on implications for relationship centered care in student's vision of personal practice

Family Med | | MEL 7258 Elect in Rural Med or Underserved This is a rural/underserved health elective in which a student will be matched with an AHEC preceptor in the Mahoning Valley, Carbon County, Lehigh County, or Northampton County area. Responsibilities will largely be assisting with out-patient clinical care in a rural primary care office, though students may be expected to participate in hospital rounds/ER call at a hospital local to the primary practice site (depending upon preceptor). Coordination of the elective and placement is through East-central PA Area Health Education Center (ECPA AHEC), with office located in Lehighton, PA. This clerkship might include a daily commute of up to 60 minutes from LVHN- Cedar Crest. Housing within the local community will not be provided. Students should also note that "rural/underserved" is a relative term. Many areas within 60 minutes of LVHN-Cedar Crest fit the definition and are typical of rural Pennsylvania. However, these are not REMOTE rural communities, which have a different flavor and feel. Students interested in a remote experience should consider other options.
Goals and Objectives:Compare and contrast the health needs and problems encountered in rural or underserved practice to those encountered in prior urban practice rotationsIdentify the unique opportunities and challenges to medical practice and life in a rural or underserved communityIntroduce/sensitize the student to cross-cultural issues in health careUnderstand the mechanisms and indications for consultation and referral in rural or underserved practice settingsEvaluate the business management of rural or underserved practice, including availability of organized funding for patient care, managed care, etc.
