Hospital Medicine

The Division of Hospital Medicine provides an in-patient educational experience for all M-4 students as an elective. Students will work directly with the hospitalist on a non-resident service. Students will perform history and physicals on new admissions and will write daily notes on select patients. Students will also be responsible for recommending daily orders, communicating with patients and family, communicating with consulting services, assisting with procedures, and developing therapeutic plans. In addition to usual admissions typical to internal medicine (Congestive Heart failure, Pneumonia, DVT/PE, DKA, Acute Renal Failure, Sepsis, GI Bleed), students will also get to experience co-management of orthopedic, interventional radiology, and neurosurgical patients (Intracranial Hemorrhage, Preoperative and Postoperative management of hip fracture).
