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.

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.
