Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine

Catalog description

Students participate actively in assigned patient care and clinical projects. Clinical work provides intensive exposure to the physiology and medicine of extreme environments such as hyperbaric and hypobaric conditions. Students will work directly with the weekly service attending, fellows, interns/residents, nursing and technical staff, providing experience in team-based, multidisciplinary, patient-centered clinical care. Students will have desk and computer space in the Hyperbaric Center team workspace to foster education and collaboration. Consultative services are provided on an inpatient, outpatient and emergency basis from many different services including medicine, surgery, oncology and emergency medicine. Students will learn about the specific indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy for clinical care, and in developing translational projects. Students are guided in producing concrete clinical presentations and reports related to the field.
