INTMD 7940 - Medicinel Intensive Care Unit Subinternship

Medical students are a welcome and important member of the team. They actively participate in the care of patients on this combined medical intensive care/coronary care unit. Students will be on call every third night. The medical student will evaluate and manage patients under the supervision of pulmonary and cardiology attendings and medical residents, fellows, or attendings. In addition to outstanding bedside teaching by the attendings, residents, fellows, respiratory therapists and nurses, formal teaching sessions are held. This elective provides an excellent review of internal medicine, outstanding preparation for residency, and a opportunity to work closely with attendings. This rotation will either be at the University Hospital or the VA Medical Center.
