Internal Medicine (M25)  (Dept. Info)Medicine  (Policies)YR2024
M25 Medicine 858Ambulatory Infectious Disease (Clinical Elective)0.0 Unit
Description:The elective is designed to teach students the fundamentals of evaluating clinical infections in the outpatient setting. Students see patients under the supervision of a faculty member and interact with ID fellows and Internal medicine residents. Students will participate in the care of HIV-infected or otherwise immunosuppressed patients as well as general infectious disease patients. The clinic is the primary provider for many HIV-infected patients, and students will learn the pathogenesis of HIV, become familiar with most antiretroviral medications, and have the opportunity to learn about opportunistic infections and their prophylaxis. They will also have the opportunity to see patients with bone and joint infections, endovascular infections, endemic and opportunistic mycoses, mycobacterial infections, sexually transmitted diseases, and many other infections. Patients seen will have a wide range of acute and chronic infections, and will include indigent and insured patients across a wide range of ages. The students will play an important role in the management of these patients and will present their assessments and plans to the supervising attending. They are expected to write clinic notes, read the literature about their patients, and participate in clinical conferences.

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.
