This elective will permit M3 students to mostly observe and sometimes participate - where possible, where encouraged by fellows, and where the student feels comfortable - with the cardiology patient care services in SLU hospital. Students will be introduced to general cardiovascular medicine with the cardiology consult services. The student in the elective will be encouraged to observe patients cared for in the cardiac catheterization, nuclear cardiology, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, or electrophysiology laboratories at St. Louis University Hospital. This is primarily an observational shadowing experience. Students will follow and observe cardiology fellows. Students in this elective will not be expected to manage the care for patients.
