Excellent hand-eye coordination is a must for this course, since students are expected to perform procedures on patients. | Objectives: | 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. | Rotation Activities: | 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. | Patient Encounters: | Preoperative / Intraoperative Patients - Multiple | Evaluation: | | Syllabus: |

| MDE 8224 Consultative Cardiology Click here for additional course information | | Report to: | | Description: | The Cardiology Consultative elective rotation is an experiential patient based rotation with integrative didactics that exist, in part, from the ongoing curriculum designed for the education and training of fellows in Cardiovascular Diseases. The learner on rotation shall be a full participant on the Cardiology Consultative Service as directed by the supervising Fellow and Attending Physician. Attendance and participation at Fellow’s Block Didactics, Heart Team Multidisciplinary Revascularization and Valve Conferences (each on a weekly basis) will provide for the organization, literature correlation and understanding of knowledge that is relevant to concurrent patient management. Team science will be a coincidently experienced and learned.At the completion of the rotation it shall be expected that a face to face “360” between learner and teacher(s) will be provided to assure the learners goals and objectives have been realized and deficiencies identified, so that future learner plans may be derived. | Objectives: | 1.

It should be of narrow scope and of sufficient quality to be included in the rotators teaching files for future students to use.7. Guided tours of the toxicology laboratory and other field trips may be available.8. The opportunity to conduct clinical or laboratory research, construct toxicology teaching materials, or to write a review paper for publication is encouraged and is available by arrangement in advance of the rotation. | Patient Encounters: |
| Evaluation: | 1. Case study preparation will be assessed during discussions with the medical toxicologist.2. Attendance at conferences and assigned poison center shifts will be counted in the evaluation.3. A written test is administered at the end of the month.4.
