SURG G855 - Vascular Medicine
Credits: 2-4
The vascular medicine clinical rotation will provide the medical students with an introduction to the diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventative approaches to all peripheral vascular diseases. The field of vascular medicine routinely uses non-invasive vascular testing to quantify disease and then determines if medical management is appropriate; and if not, assists in the application of more invasive therapies. The medical student will be introduced to the clinical characteristics of many vascular diseases, including arterial, venous and lymphatic, as they occur at peripheral, aortic, renal, mesenteric, coronary, cerebral, pulmonary, and other sites. Students will get a glimpse into the extensive knowledge base that is essential in understanding the pathogenesis of vascular diseases including PAD, aneurysms, vasculitis, arteriovenous fistulas, lipid disorders, essential hypertension, renovascular hypertension, arterial and venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, varicose veins, venous insufficiency (CVI), lymphedema and vasospastic disorders.
