  This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 6 credit hours. The student will function as a junior intern with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in all of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. Junior Internships in Medicine are intended to put the student in a more direct role in patient care similar to internship but closely supervised and directed. It is expected that the student will be responsible for recording the principal data base (with resident or faculty review and counter signature), developing an evaluation and treatment plan, and writing orders on patients (to be reviewed, altered if necessary, and signed by the resident or faculty prior to their implementation). These junior internships may be either in general internal medicine or in sub-specialty medicine; however, whether on general medicine or sub-specialty ward, the student’s responsibility is for learning about the care of patients from the overall viewpoint of internal medicine rather than specifically studying a particular internal medicine sub-specialty. EME-40100 enrollment preference is given to UT students who are interested in careers in Emergency Medicine over those who are not during the months of May-October.

  This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 3 or 6 credit hours.  The student should function with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in several of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. This rotation allows the medical student to explore the sub-specialty of palliative medicine and care for the seriously ill patient. For this rotation, in the outpatient setting, the cancer patient receiving active treatment of either surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy is the predominant population, while inpatient a variety of seriously ill patients are served. Palliative medicine, as practiced both in and out of hospice, has, like all other specialties, a distinctive approach and body of knowledge. While we will seem to be seeing patients in much the same way as on your other clinical rotations, we will attempt to show you what makes palliative medicine different and, to us, special. Through an interdisciplinary team approach to patient care, the rotation is developed to provide supervised opportunities for students to explore and develop clinical and interpersonal skills, knowledge, professional attitudes, and practical experience to use in future practice.

• IDE 45020 - Legal Issues in Healthcare

  ---

  
  
  Cr Hrs: 6
  Session Length: 4 weeks
  
  
  
  This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 6 credit hours. This elective prepares students to meet the legal challenges that will face them in the practice of medicine. Using a team-based, case study method, the students will be able to identify, describe, and apply basic legal/medical principles, including the physician-patient relationship, consent, confidentiality, medical records, competency, surrogate decision-makers, reporting communicable diseases, advance directives and other end-of-life documents, liability and risk management, the legal issues of mental health, the business side of medicine, and prescribing practices. The method of instruction relies heavily on team-based learning principles, but includes interactive lectures and group discussion. Objectives: Students will be able to (1) identify basic legal/medical issues that may arise in the care and treatment of patients; (2) describe the legal /ethical consequences of failing to conform to accepted standards of practice; (3) improve risk management techniques employed in their practice; and (4) minimize the potential for lawsuits and/or disciplinary actions filed against them. Attendance is required for this elective, and if a student knows in advance that he or she cannot attend all class periods, enrollment in the elective is discouraged. Please note block 11 will be in person in Memphis while other blocks will be offered virtually.

• IDE 45070 - Transforming Healthcare Delivery

  ---

  
  
  Cr Hrs: 6
  Session Length: 4
  
  
  
  This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 6 credit hours.  The student should function with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in several of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. The University of Tennessee Medical Center has been engaged in a decade long commitment to transforming healthcare delivery by developing a clinically integrated network.  Clinical Integration (CI) is the coordination of health services across the continuum of care including disease prevention and wellness promotion, management of the acute care episode, chronic disease and medication optimization, and developing effective provider-payor relationships. The goal of CI is to improve the quality of care and health outcomes of the population, while containing costs of care delivery. By spending time with patients, practitioners, and healthcare leaders in each phase of the inpatient and outpatient care continuum, the student will gain understanding of the economics and management of value-based care delivery.  Along with patient care responsibilities the student will interact with senior executives and key members of the system management team. A designated CI leader will act as a mentor to the student. The student should expect to attend management meetings and leadership rounds, maintain a journal of experiences, and complete a specific CI project under the guidance of the mentor.

• IDE 45080 - Global Health in Theory and Practice

  ---

  
  
  Cr Hrs: 6
  Session Length: 4 weeks
  
  
  
  This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 6 credit hours.  The student should function with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in several of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. As our global society becomes more interconnected, the need for global health training and culturally sensitive care has never been higher. A 2014 study by Drain et al. demonstrated the lasting benefits of international rotations on physician-in-trainings’ medical knowledge, physical examination skills, and motivation to practice among underserved and multicultural populations. This course will center around three core competencies: international clinical medicine, global public health, and international health systems. Students will develop a working knowledge of global medicine topics, possibly work with a professional healthcare team in an international/rural setting, and practice diagnosing and treating patients in resource-limited areas. This will facilitate students’ growth into more well-rounded, culturally-competent physicians. Students will participate in didactics, discussions, and independent inquiry into an aspect of global health they find particularly compelling. Additionally, they will explore opportunities to travel abroad and integrate into a medical team providing patient care in a resource-limited setting.

• COM 20700 - M2 Culinary Medicine Elective

  ---

  
  
  Cr Hrs: 3 (2-3-0)
   ”Let Food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”  Hippocrates 400 BC. Culinary medicine takes this ancient idea and modernizes it through merging of medical science, nutrition, and culinary skill. In this course, students will examine the relationship between diet and chronic disease through studying the evidence-based principles of the Mediterranean Diet and using the translational core curriculum licensed by the Goldring Center of Culinary Medicine. The course objectives are to not only stimulate education in nutrition and preventative medicine, but also to develop the ability to confidently communicate nutrition to patients in understandable terms of food. This will be accomplished through the completion of 8 modules (6 with both online and Hands-on component and 2 with online and discussion) during the M2 Fall semester.

   

  The six hands-on modules will include the following topics:

  1. Introduction to Culinary Medicine

  2. Weight Management

  3. Lipids

  4. Protein/Vegetarian diets

  5. Carbohydrates

  6. Sodium/ Potassium/ Hypertension

   

  These 6 modules will consist of:

  1. Online component (2hrs each): Video review,

  Articles, Quiz, and Exercise. Students will be encouraged to work in groups when preparing case study exercises to be discussed during hands on time

  2. Hands on (3hrs each):

  ​ ​Culinary hands-on will be technique driven emphasizing at least one core culinary skill per class with recipes chosen to reinforce topics

   

  The other 2 of the 8 modules will be online component only without corresponding hand-on culinary class

  7. Food Allergies and Intolerance: Online material and group discussion

  8. Pediatric Diet: Online Material

   

  In order to receive credit the student must complete all online coursework and quizzes, and attend hands-on classes. Absences are to be discussed and excused with faculty.  There will be a required pre- and post-survey.  Grading is pass/fail.

  Cr Hrs: 2 (1-0-1)
  Offered in M2 Fall. For 3-year curriculum students only. The Longitudinal Scholar’s Project (LSP) clerkship is a longitudinal clerkship spanning the four years of medical school. The course will introduce medical students to three basic areas: health research, patient safety and quality improvement (PSQI) and community and global health. The clerkship involves a longitudinal project in one of the three areas and culminates in a graded poster presentation. Rather than have every student participate in each category, the clerkship provides the students with a foundation of basic understanding in research, patient safety and quality improvement and community/global health, while requiring each student to do a project in one area to be presented at any time during medical school. The poster may be presented at a committee approved poster venue. Outstanding work will be eligible for awards.

Students will be exposed to a variety of medical conditions and care for internal medicine patients in the inpatient and outpatient realms. Goals include improving history and physical exam skills, written and oral case presentations, increasing fund of knowledge, clinical judgment and integration into the team and beginning patient care with improving differential diagnosis and management skills. There is a core conference series, covering important medicine topics. An observed H and P in an OSCE setting is done, and a NBME medicine shelf exam is required at the end of the rotation. The 3rd year clerk is an active participant on the team and in patient care and is encouraged to take as much responsibility for both patient care and their own learning as they are able. The goals and objectives for the Internal Medicine Clerkship are similar across all UT sites (Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Nashville). At Memphis, each student is assigned to 2 hospitals which can include Methodist University, Baptist-East, Regional One Health, or the Veterans Administration Hospital, at Knoxville they are at UT Medical Center, at Chattanooga they are at Erlanger Medical Center, and at Nashville they are at St Thomas Midtown.
