Cardiology 3

Catalog description

This rotation is focused on the inpatient care of cardiac patients. The students will round on the inpatient cardiology service with the attending cardiologist and cardiology fellows. The students are expected to see patients in the CCU and cardiology consults, evaluate the patients, and formulate a plan to be presented to the team. As part of the rotation, the students are expected to follow patients having procedures in the cardiac catheterization lab, EP lab, and echocardiography suite to gain exposure to these areas. There is an outpatient cardiology clinic one afternoon a week for patients with new cardiology issues. These patients will be staffed with the cardiology attending in the clinic. Lastly, the students will have a weekly session with EKG interpretation with a cardiology attending.
