TITLE OF COURSE:

Infectious Diseases

DESCRIPTION AND GOALS OF COURSE: The discipline of infectious diseases is uncommon in internal medicine in that it is not restricted to a single organ system. Indeed the Infectious Disease Consultative Service serves patients in virtually all departments of the hospital. Many of these patients are among the most acutely ill and they often pose the most difficult diagnostic enigmas. These presentations are more than an academic challenge; many infectious diseases can be cured and the patient restored to previous health. A practical working knowledge of clinical infectious diseases has become absolutely critical for the following reasons: (1) there has been a huge increase in the numbers of immunosuppressed people, not only from HIV infection but also from the substantial increase in bone marrow and solid organ transplant recipients, the more aggressive use of cytotoxic chemotherapy and more invasive and life-sustaining ICU modalities; (2) the explosion of new antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial agents requiring familiarity with their spectrum of action and toxicities; (3) the proliferation of multiple-antibiotic resistant pathogens which presents virtually untreatable infections; and (4) the focus upon infection control, cost containment and quality of practice which have arisen with the increased attention to the economics of health care. The diagnosis of infections and proper management of patients with these diseases are taught by exposing students to a broad spectrum of clinical problems. The appropriate use of microbiology, virology and serology laboratories is stressed. The student sees consultations under the supervision of a full-time attending at the University Hospital and at the Greenebaum Cancer Center. A clinical infectious disease conference for faculty, house staff and students is held weekly. Duration:

Clinical Clerkship in Infectious Disease

DESCRIPTION AND GOALS OF COURSE: Infectious diseases present the most challenging problems in clinical medicine. Practicing physicians need to understand the diversity of potential pathogens, recognize those pathogens with predilection for susceptible hosts, appreciate the role of community and the hospital in the epidemiology of infectious illness, have knowledge of how to use the microbiology and immunology laboratories, and be facile in the appropriate prescribing of antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral agents. Many of these issues are not taught in medical school. They are often learned in a random and unfocused fashion on traditional medicine clerkships. Students that find the discipline of infectious disease interesting, or plan on careers in family practice, general medicine or surgery are strongly encouraged to spend time dedicated to the study of patients with acute and chronic infectious diseases. Students will perform both inpatient and outpatient infectious disease consultations. This work will be done under the direct supervision of the clerkship director. Patient problem oriented reading is expected and core readings will be supplied. Formal instruction will occur both through individual time spent with the faculty preceptor and through attendance at infectious disease clinical conferences. Duration:

Physician Scientist Clinical Elective

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE: This elective is designed to provide MD/PhD students with integrative clinical experiences that will enhance their training as physician scientists. The elective includes a longitudinal clinical experience during the Ph.D. years. In order to maintain a continual exposure to the principles and practice of medicine, students will be linked with a clinician investigator who works in an area related to the student’s research and/or clinical interests. The student will accompany this faculty mentor in a patient care contact experience over the course of an academic year for at least 100 hours of hands-on contact time. Students will also participate in the Physician Scientist Seminar series throughout all their years of training. This combined theoretical and practical exposure to clinical medicine will provide the student with a solid foundation of the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of a variety of human diseases that reinforce the clinical relevance of their research projects. The student will gain insight into the thought processes underlying the formation of a differential diagnosis as well as an appreciation for the evolution of diseases over time. This clinical experience will illuminate an important link between the student’s ongoing basic/translational research and clinical medicine. An additional benefit of this course is the presentation of the clinician investigator as a role model to aid the student in career planning decisions Timeframe:

TITLE OF COURSE:

Medical Spanish Elective

DESCRIPTION OF COURSE: The demand for health professionals to learn Spanish has increased dramatically in the last twenty years. Hispanic Americans continue to be the fastest growing ethnic minority in the United States. In the state of Maryland, especially in the Baltimore/Annapolis/Washington and Eastern Shore areas, there has been a dramatic increase in the Spanish-speaking population during the last ten to fifteen years. Furthermore, this population is composed mainly of workers whose families are not fluent in English and or their knowledge of English is extremely limited. Consequently, health-care providers in all major areas of the country and in the State of Maryland in particular, are more than ever aware of the need for knowledge of Spanish particularly for basic and advanced conversational medical Spanish. At the same time, students and professionals in all health fields find themselves with increasing demands on their time. Therefore, they can truly benefit from a course that is specifically tailored to their needs and time constraints. Particular emphasis will be given to vocabulary acquisition, communication skills and cultural nuances. Goal: To enable 1st and 2nd year medical students to improve communication skills in Spanish, specifically in the medical setting. Objectives: By the end of the elective, all students should be able to: • Understand the culture of the Hispanic/Latino population and its effect on their interactions with health care providers • Initiate a conversation/interview in Spanish Intermediate II and Advanced students should be able to: • Initiate and maintain conversations in Spanish • Interview Spanish speaking patients in their own language Duration:

80 hours per semester for 4 semesters

Students must additionally complete and document 80 hours of language practice in order to ultimately receive senior elective credit. Hours of Participation:

1 hour per week

Number of Students:
