VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 2. DESCRIPTION: General cardiology rotation remains part of the bread and butter core of internal medicine inpatient rotations. 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. International students should email a CV to Rita Balian at balian@stanford.edu. PREREQUISITES: MED 300A. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-MED 12, full time for 4 weeks, 1 student per period (a second student can be added with approval from clerkship coordinator). CLERKSHIP DIRECTOR: Eldrin Lewis, M.D. CLERKSHIP COORDINATOR: Tawny Bagnol, ttbagnol@stanford.edu, MED 650-MED 736-1319. REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS: Where: MED 500 Pasteur Drive, J7 Team Room MED 707; Time: 7:MED 00 am. CALL CODE: 1. OTHER FACULTY: R. Bose, P. Cheng, L. Clarke, R. Dash, D. Gerber, W. Fearon, K. Friday, C.
