| | Description: | Students will participate in the diagnostic work-up and management of patients with conditions such as: systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, vasculitis, spondyloarthropathies, and gout. There is less exposure to osteoarthritis and regional musculoskeletal problems. By working closely with faculty members, fellows, and medical residents, students actively contribute to the care of rheumatology patients through inpatient consultations and outpatient clinics at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. An emphasis is placed on the physical examination of joints and the musculoskeletal system, synovial fluid analysis, and interpretation of diagnostic tests and radiographs. Students attend rheumatology conferences. This elective enrolls students in the inpatient rheumatology consult service. Please contact the elective Course Director if you prefer a predominantly outpatient rotation, a mixed (inpatient and outpatient) learning experience, or exposure to a specific interest (i.e. adult-pediatric rheumatology, autoimmune eye disease, dermatology-rheumatology, etc).

| | Description: | This elective is designed to develop the teaching and mentoring skills of our Phase 3 medical students through structured hospital sessions with early Phase 1 medical students in Gateway. The primary format of the elective is observation of 2 first-year students during hospital sessions that span from September-April.
During these hospital sessions the Phase 1 learners will start by observing H and Ps being done on real patients. As they gradually learn history taking skills, they will start performing the history and documenting it. After winter break, they will also start performing portions of the physical exam in addition to taking histories. All sessions will be observed by the Phase 3 mentor, who will provide immediate post-session feedback. Additionally, documentation of the clinical encounter (a written H and P) by the Phase 1 learners is to be reviewed and critiqued by the mentor. Additional practice sessions for physical exam components will be coordinated by the clinical skills director.
A total of 4 sessions are required throughout the year. Phase 1 Gateway curriculum does not start until mid-September, and the elective will conclude at Spring Break, prior to the first clinical immersion for the Phase 1 students and prior to Match Day for the Phase 3 mentor. Approximately one session/month will be required during October, November, February,and March. The individual dates are flexible. If you are unable to participate in a session due to being on away rotations, it is your responsibility to find a substitute mentor. |

| | Description: | Automobile transportation is highly recommended in order to get an optimal learning experience as some of the clinical oncology practices are located off-site.
Students will gain experience in the initial treatment of newly-diagnosed malignancies and the outpatient management of oncology patients. Participation in multidisciplinary tumor conferences will stress a combined-modality approach to management, incorporating chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Students will see patients with a variety of malignancies, including lymphoma, myeloma, and tumors of the lung, breast, and colon. Management of hypercalcemia and other paraneoplastic syndromes, as well as cancer pain management, will be covered.
Students will have the opportunity to see how most oncologists spend 90% of their workday. They will observe different styles that oncologists use when presenting news about prognosis, treatment options, and other information to patients while they also learn about the molecular basis for cancer, the mechanisms of action for our therapies (particularly the newer agents which target specific molecular abnormalities), and the key studies that justify the use of therapies (e.g. randomized studies showing that after surgery, chemotherapy will reduce the risk of recurrence from a particular cancer with a particular regimen). By spending time with clinicians, students will learn how to identify hereditary syndromes, use drugs for symptom relief, and also learn how radiographic and laboratory tests allow oncologists to care for patients.

| | Description: | This elective is designed to introduce students to the general inpatient, intensive care, and outpatient management of patients with multiple hematologic malignancies including leukemia, lymphoma, marrow failure states and myeloma. These patients will be treated with chemotherapy, targeted therapies and cellular immunotherapies including chimeric receptor T cells (CART), natural killer cells, bispecific antibody treatments and stem cell transplant (both autologous and allogeneic). As the primary team, the BMT service is responsible for diagnosing and treating all medical problems including many critical care issues that may occur in these patients. These complex patients are often severely immunocompromised, coagulopathic, and at high-risk of multi-organ complications from both their disease and their therapy. Students work closely with residents, fellows, and faculty to develop treatment plans for patients. Students participate in daily rounds discussing general inpatient and intensive care BMT patients and attend outpatient clinic 1 day/wk to see how BMT physicians approach patients faced with difficult decisions to make regarding their care. In addition to multiple weekly conferences, students also attend daily teaching rounds led by faculty to learn the basic science of hematopoiesis, the genomics of leukema, stem cell biology, gene therapy and cell therapy, transplantation immunology, graft vs host disease and infectious diseases seen in these immunocompromised patients. The average medical student will contribute to the care of inpatients (30-40 patients/day) and will be directly involved in the assessment and care of selected outpatients as well.
