MED 300A. Internal Medicine Core Clerkship (SUMC, PAVAMC, SCVMC, KPMC)     Closed to Visitors
Teaches the natural history, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of medical illness. Emphasis is placed on acquiring the understanding, skills, and attitudes desirable in a scientific and compassionate physician. Students record histories, physical examinations, and laboratory data for patients for whom they are responsible and present their findings, together with their diagnoses and treatment plans, at rounds and conferences. Developing sound clinical reasoning skills is continuously emphasized. An essential aspect of the clerkship is the students’ gradual assumption of direct responsibility for, and full-time involvement in, patient care with the house staff and faculty team. To take advantage of the differences in patient populations and teaching staffs of the four hospitals, students spend four weeks at either SUMC or PAVAMC, and four weeks at either SCVMC in San Jose or KPMC in Santa Clara. The resulting eight week experience is an integrated curriculum designed to cover the essentials of internal medicine. The Department of Medicine supervises a random draw-based assignment to two of the four locations shortly before the beginning of each odd-numbered clerkship period. A passing grade will require both a satisfactory performance at both clinical sites and passing the NBME Subject Exam at the end of 8 weeks.
Prereq: MED 208 or INDE 206.
Periods Avail: 1-12, full-time for eight weeks. 18 students per period from P1-P4, 18 students per period from P5-P12.

MED 304A. Cardiovascular Medicine Clerkship-Inpatients (SUMC)   S2   Open to Visitors
General cardiology rotation remains part of the “bread and butter” core of internal medicine inpatient rotations. Together with the CCU/heart failure (PGY II) and the cardiology consult service (VA and Stanford), these rotations form the foundation of the cardiology knowledge base for students. Advances in diagnostic imaging, rapid bedside testing and evidence based clinical trials have allowed us to deliver coordinated complex care to our patients with ample opportunities for teaching and learning. The development of the skills and knowledge required for the practice of cardiac vascular medicine is an essential part of the educational process of internal medicine training. Cardiovascular diseases affect millions of Americans and now we have tools and drugs to treat and/or prevent this problem. It is an essential large component of a daily internal medicine practice. Involves four weeks of intensive experience with clinical cardiology inpatients. ECG reading will be included. Students are required to attend daily teaching rounds with the attending cardiologist and house staff, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine conferences, and formal teaching sessions, including electrocardiography. Cardiac patients who do not require CCU care, e.g. AF, NSTEMI, chest pain, SBE are admitted primarily via the ER 7 days a week. Students will work directly with R1 and a supervisory R2 Medicine Resident and Cardiology faculty member. Work day usually is from 7 am – 7 pm with one day off/week. No night call as patients are covered by R2 and R3 night float residents. Please note: Visiting students must obtain approval from the clerkship director prior to applying for this clerkship.

MED 343B. Palliative Care Clerkship (SUMC, PAVAMC, SCVMC)   S1   Open to Visitors
Teaches the natural history, prognostication, and management of serious life limiting illnesses. Emphasis is placed on acquiring the knowledge, skills, and attitudes desirable in a compassionate clinician-scholar physician. Students record history (with special assessment to symptoms, functional assessment, mood and cognitive assessment), physical examination, and pertinent laboratory data for patients for whom they are responsible and present their findings, together with their diagnoses and management care plans, at rounds, and daily team meetings. Provision of patient centered care is continuously emphasized. An essential aspect of the clerkship is the students’ gradual assumption of direct responsibility for, and full-time involvement in, care of patients with serious illness with the house staff, fellows and faculty team. To best leverage the differences in patient populations and faculty of the three core hospitals, students spend two weeks at VA Palo Alto Medical Center in-patient palliative care unit , and two weeks on the palliative care consult service at Stanford Hospital and Clinics as well as in our affiliated home hospice agencies (visitors students may be based only at SHC and VA Palo Alto Medical Center) . The resulting four week experience is an organized learning experience designed to cover the essentials of palliative medicine. A passing grade will require both a satisfactory performance at both clinical sites and a successful 30 minute formal presentation on palliative care topic of interest (student will discuss ideas with Course Director to identify potential topics). Course highlights include (a) mentoring from the course director and or a cadre of mentors including Attendings and Fellows (b) focus on skill building and practice with special focus on communication skills (c) opportunity to work closely with multiple disciplines (d) learning to care for the patient and their family as the unit of care.
