| DESCRIPTION : This Area of Concentration in Emergency Medicine, Critical Care and Trauma is designed to introduce the student to issues related to the care of the seriously ill or injured patient. The student who elects this AoC will study profound illness, including its pathophysiology and emergency presentation as well as the design of health care systems necessary to provide this level of care. The AoC will provide more rigorous exposure to these areas than is provided in the core curriculum. The Area of Concentration includes two requirements. The first required course would be a pre-clinical (Principles of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine). The second required course would be an acting internship in Critical Care, Trauma or Emergency Medicine taken during the fourth year. The remainder of the AoC will consist of elective courses. Since Critical Care, Emergency and Trauma, require a multi-disciplinary approach to patient care, the elective courses that the student may take to satisfy this requirement of the AoC will reflect the breadth of medical knowledge. BR>Nomination for Distinction in the Flexible Program will require completion of a project that has been designed by the student with help and approval from his/her student advisor within the AoC. It is anticpated that students completing this ARea of Concentration will go on to show a clinical interest in Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, Trauma, or any specialty that regularly deals with critically ill or emergently ill patients. This AoC is the original. It was designed to include all CWRU faculty and to meet the needs of all CWRU students and has done so since 1989. We have had students participate in our electives from Zimbabwe, Thailand, Australia and Canada. |
