M65 Peds 876Pediatric Lung Transplantation0.0 Unit
Description:St. Louis Children's Hospital has the largest pediatric lung transplantation experience in the world. This flexible and unique clinical rotation will provide the potential for students to be exposed to the process of lung transplantation from referral and listing to surgical and post-operative care. The use of diagnostic tests, including flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy with biopsies and bronchoalveolar lavage, histopathology of infection and graft rejection, and the complexities of immunosuppression will all be explored. In addition to both inpatient and outpatient exposure to pediatric lung transplant patients, students are encouraged to participate in weekly multidisciplinary meetings with our team, as well as meetings focused on program quality improvement and patient/family psychosocial issues. Our patient referral base is worldwide, and includes infants and children with cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, complex congenital heart defects, and congenital lung diseases including surfactant protein deficiencies. Because our patient volume is variable, students will also have the opportunity to participate in general inpatient and outpatient pediatric pulmonology clinics and inpatient services as their interests and time permit. Students are encouraged to reach out to the course director in advance of the rotation so that we can tailor the experience to best meet their needs.

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.
