Med 4 students will function as “acting interns” for patients hospitalized for acute care needs. Responsibilities include: independently assessing admissions, writing admission H and Ps, entering admission orders to be co-signed by the resident, rounding daily on his/her own patients, independently assessing and contributing to the treatment plan, writing progress notes, entering daily orders, calling consultants, answering nursing questions, coordinating transitions of care with night coverage and at discharge, attending conferences and teaching and mentoring Med 3 students.
The primary learning modality of Doc-4 is through clinical experience. However, reading, web-based modules and standardized patient scenarios may be employed to meet the learning objectives. The course is designed to allow the student to gain preliminary exposure in the evaluation of urological complaints, both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Emphasis is on principles of urologic history taking and urologic physical examination. Principles of urinalysis are taught as well as the principles of reading urologic-related radiographic studies. In the operating room, principles of urologic surgery are taught, and the student is given the opportunity to assist.
