MED 45075 - Hospitalist Medicine - MUH

Cr Hrs: 3, 6
Session Length: 2 or 4 weeks

This is a face-to-face clinical rotation. 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 elective offers increased responsibility in inpatient general medicine. The student will be acting as an intern and will be working directly with an attending faculty member. They will be responsible for direct patient care including admitting patients, writing orders, and diagnosing and managing patients on a general medicine ward service. The student will attend daily work rounds and teaching rounds. Patient care activities are paramount, and students are expected to be an integral member of the team. Students will be based at Methodist University.This Elective is very similar to the General Medicine JI, but rather than having a full team including attending/senior resident/interns/M3’s, the student will work directly one on one with an attending. Other expectations of type of patient, patient load, expectations for documentation are similar to the general medicine JI. This elective’: is similar to the General Medicine Hospitalist JI with regards to responsibilities and patient care but allows for more flexibility of scheduling if required, and may be done as either a 2 week or 4 week elective.
