M90 Radiol 801General Radiology (Clinical Elective)0.0 Unit
Description:This four-week Radiology elective allows students to rotate through four of the following Radiology services: Pediatrics, Abdomen, Musculoskeletal, Neuroradiology, Nuclear Medicine, Emergency Radiology, Mammography, Chest, and Interventional Radiology.

The primary course objectives are to familiarize students with the scope of diagnostic and interventional radiology, including the consulting role radiologists provide to primary care and specialty providers; risks/benefits and cost effectiveness of radiologic examinations; guidelines for ordering common studies; and the radiologic appearance and workup of specific disease entities.

Students spend most of each day in the Radiology reading rooms with residents, fellows, and faculty for interactive teaching at the workstation, driven by daily clinical cases. Students will attend morning and noon didactic conferences with the residents. The students will have a primarily observational role in conferences and in the clinical setting. On Thursday afternoons, students will participate in an interactive conference led by a Radiology resident on a scheduled topic in Radiology. Prior to each Thursday conference, students are expected to view assigned lectures from the course material available online (WUSTL Box). On Friday afternoons, students will present an interesting case from the week in the format of a PowerPoint presentation. All of the PowerPoint presentations will be submitted at the end of the rotation for grading. Students will also be evaluated on their preparedness and participation in the afternoon conferences.

Reading lists, references, and textbooks will be provided. The first day of the elective is mandatory. Attendance is per WUSM clinical absence policy. Grades will be based on daily attendance and interactions, conference participation, and submitted presentations.

Student preference requests for Radiology service assignments should be emailed at least two weeks prior to the course start date to the elective contact. Requests are considered on a first come first serve basis and cannot be guaranteed.

M90 Radiol 820Clinical Nuclear Medicine (Clinical Elective)0.0 Unit
Description:The clinical service in Nuclear Medicine (NM) is divided into five sections: outpatient general NM, inpatient general NM, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Pediatric NM studies, NM Cardiac studies, and radionuclide therapy. The recommended schedule will be to spend weeks 1 and 3 in the Center for Advanced Medicine/BJH North Campus (second floor), where the emphasis will be on outpatient general and pediatric Nuclear Medicine with some time in the PET reading room. Week 2 will be in South Campus (West Pavilion 9th floor) and split between inpatient general nuclear medicine, outside PET facilities (morning), cardiac NM services (afternoon), and radionuclide therapy. The schedule for Week 4 will be Monday to Wednesday Center for Advanced Medicine/BJH North Campus and Thursday to Friday on South Campus.

This rotation's primary objective is to provide exposure to the full range of clinical nuclear medicine studies. Under the direct supervision of the NM attendings, the student in person (or via Zoom when in-person training is unavailable) will participate in planning and interpreting imaging studies for patients referred to the Division. An opportunity also exists to explore instrumentation techniques, including dedicated computer applications utilized to interpret NM studies. In addition to the clinical experience, the student will attend the NM daily morning conference, held via Zoom or in person from 8-9:00 am. Also, the student may attend the daily diagnostic radiology resident noon conference via Zoom or in-person from 12-1:00 pm. The student will also be able to participate in any conferences within the Department of Radiology and case management conferences where NM studies are discussed. The students are encouraged to prepare a case for the Friday follow-up conference under an NM faculty member's supervision during their rotation. The student can find the PowerPoint template to use and examples of prior follow-up cases using this link: \\files.wustl.edu\shares\RAD_MIR\Clinical Education Services\Nuclear Medicine\Nuclear Medicine Follow-Up Conferences. The Nuclear Medicine Chief of residents and the program director can provide additional information and supervise the case preparation if needed.

Students may keep a log of interesting cases to a guide additional reading or discussions with the Course Director or other NM attendings.

Educational material including textbooks and digital teaching file cases are available at the following url: http://gamma.wustl.edu/index2.html

Please introduce yourself to Dr. Ponisio, the nuclear medicine residency program director, and Ms. Bre Vittitow, the nuclear medicine program coordinator, on the first day of your 4-week NM rotation. The first and final days of the elective are mandatory.

M90 Radiol 910Diagnostic Radiology Advanced Clinical Rotation (ACR)140.0 Units
Description:As part of this 4 week Advanced Clinical Rotation in Diagnostic Radiology (DR-ACR), trainees will participate in interpretation and communicating results of various imaging modalities, such as radiography, CT, and ultrasound. Students will perform duties similar to a radiology resident dictating preliminary reports with an attending radiologist, determining most appropriate imaging examinations for patients, and communicating time-dependent results and alternative imaging strategies with ordering providers. There will be opportunity to observe the "read out" sessions of other residents to enhance the medical students exposure to numerous cases and familiarize them with the process of image interpretation. While the course material will be most applicable to students interested in Diagnostic Radiology, the resulting knowledge, skills and abilities in image interpretation and appropriateness will prove useful for students in any specialty who routinely order imaging examinations.

The DR-ACR will include image interpretation and performing examinations for adult patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in diagnostic reading rooms including inpatient, outpatient and emergency department.

Student time distribution: Inpatient 50%, Outpatient 50%; Conferences/Lectures 15%; Subspecialty Care 100%
Patients seen weekly: Involved in the interpretation of up to 75 cases weekly with few physical patient interactions.
On-call/weekend responsibility: No call or weekends.

Label

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.
