M65 Peds 819Outpatient Pediatric Cardiology (Clinical Elective)0.0 Unit
Description:Students will be exposed to the wide spectrum of pediatric cardiology on an outpatient basis. In addition to general cardiology clinics, several subspecialty clinics are also available, including heart failure/transplant, electrophysiology/inherited arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension, William's syndrome, Down syndrome, cardiac neurodevelopmental, COVID-19/MIS-C, Fontan clinic, and preventative cardiology clinic. Students will independently evaluate clinic patients referred for a variety of cardiac complaints, such as cardiac murmurs, chest pain, syncope, arrhythmia, as well a wide variety of congenital cardiac lesions, and report their findings to the attending. Cardiac auscultation skills will be enhanced through auscultation of cardiac patients in a clinic environment.

Students will learn basics of ECG and echocardiogram interpretation by reviewing studies performed during clinic with the attending. Clinics are held at St. Louis Children's Hospital and the Children's Specialty Care Center in West County, Children's Specialty Care South in Arnold, Graham Road clinic in North St.Louis County, and Shiloh clinic in Shiloh, IL. Students also have the option to participate in outreach clinics that occur on a monthly basis (locations include Cape Girardeau, Poplar Bluff, Rolla, Bonne Terre, and Columbia). Depending on interest, students may spend additional time in the echocardiography laboratory for more in-depth exposure to echocardiography, including fetal echocardiography. Participation in weekly surgical conference and daily cardiology educational conferences is encouraged.

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.
