M50 Ophth 810Neuro-Ophthalmology (Clinical Elective)Var. Units (max = 4.0)
Description:This elective will be offered by invitation only to select fourth-year medical students with a career interest in Neuro-Ophthalmology. During the four-week rotation, students will be busy in the Neuro-Ophthalmology clinic. Students will be expected to work-up new patients and present them to the Neuro-Ophthalmology attending. After clinic students should read about diagnoses encountered in clinic. In addition, there will be required reading. Comprehension of the reading will be assessed by scheduled quizzes which will then be reviewed with the student by one of three faculty members. There may be opportunities to join the operating room for strabismus surgery. Interested students will be encouraged to engage in a research project with one of the faculty members, although this is not required for the rotation.

This will be a busy clinical elective; students can expect to spend ten half-days working in clinic or the OR per week. By the end of the rotation, students will feel comfortable recording a chief complaint, focused Neuro-Ophthalmic history, and performing a Neuro-Ophthalmic examination. Students should achieve resident level knowledge of common Neuro-Ophthalmic pathology.

M50 Ophth 910Ophthalmology Advanced Clinical Rotation (ACR)4.0 Units
Description:On the Ophthalmology Advanced Clinical Rotation, medical students will rotate on the ophthalmology adult consult service, the University Eye Service clinic, and the subspecialty clinics of the full time faculty of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences (cornea, glaucoma, retina, oculoplastics, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology, ophthalmic pathology, uveitis, and ocular oncology). Students will care for patients of all ages and backgrounds, and ophthalmic diseases seen will range from common eye conditions to complex diseases requiring subspecialty care.

In clinic and on consults, students will perform the ophthalmic history and physical examination and also develop their ability to diagnose, manage, and treat common ophthalmic conditions. In the operating room, students will participate in all phases of perioperative patient care and learn basic ophthalmic surgical principles and techniques.

Academic curriculum for the rotation will include weekly case presentations with ophthalmology faculty, resident lectures and conferences, and weekly departmental grand rounds. Each student will also present a case at grand rounds during the final week of the rotation with the assistance of a resident mentor.

Students will participate in ophthalmology call approximately one evening per week. During that time, the medical student is expected to be present to work with the primary call ophthalmology resident.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
