MEDI G720 - Pulmonology Critical Care Elective Credits: 2
This elective presents students the opportunity to manage critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit. Together with their teams, students take in-house overnight call every fifth night, usually admitting 2-3 new patients each call night with maximum census of 6-8 patients for ongoing care. Patient load may be adjusted as needed based on student comfort and patient complexity. Students evaluate all assigned patients, completing and recording the medical interview, physical examination, diagnostic assessment, and management plan. Students reevaluate their impressions on daily rounds and in teaching conferences with the Pulmonary/Critical Care faculty. Students will also have the opportunity to observe bronchoscopy.
