Foreword    

     

As  our  first  two  years  of  medical  school  are  nearing  an  end,  we  can  look  forward  to  putting  our  knowledge  and  skills  to  use  in  the  clinical  setting.      This  experience  is  an  exciting  time  which  will  give  us  further  insight  into  our  interests  and  final  career  decisions.    

 

While  the  core  rotations  are  the  same  for  all  of  us,  each  of  the  sites  is  distinctive  in  its  own  way.    We  have  many  options  available  to  us,  ranging  from  small  community  hospitals  to  large  academic  medical  centers.    As  such,  we  will  each  have  a  unique  set  of  clinical  experiences  from  which  to  draw  on  for  the  rest  of  our  careers.    

This  guide  was  created  to  provide  information  about  each  affiliate  hospital  and  the  various  rotations  they  offer.    We  have   tried   to  make   this   as  helpful   and   complete   as  possible.     Please   keep   in  mind   that  while  every  effort  has  been  made  to  provide  the  most  accurate  information,  this  guide  is  not  the  final  word.    The  Office  of  the  Registrar  will  provide  the  official  information  regarding  individual  course  locations,  enrollment  limits  for  each  site,  and  the  blocks  when  each  course  is  offered.      

We  hope  the  information  in  this  guide  will  help  you  select  rotation  sites  to  fit  your  own  goals.    We  wish  you  all  the  best  of  luck  next  year!  

 

Sincerely,

Third  Year  Clerkship  Selection  Procedure    

Mid  –  February  2017,  students  will  begin  to  select  the  rotation  and  location  of  clerkships  with  the  Registrar's  Office.    Specific  dates  will  be  emailed  from  the  Registrar’s  Office.    

Approx.  April  15th  the  results  of  the  lottery  will  be  available  to  all  second  year  students.  

STUDENTS  ARE  PROHIBITED  FROM  HOLDING  MORE  THAN  ONE  SLOT  PER  CORE  SUBJECT  and  the  Registrar  will  automatically  delete  extra  slots  held  thereby  jeopardizing  a  student's  first  choice.  

Since  it  is  realized  that  at  times  changes  are  necessary  once  the  academic  year  begins,  ANY  CHANGES  must  be  made  under  the  following  procedure:  

All  changes  must  be  made  six  weeks  or  more  before  the  scheduled  rotation  online  via  Banner  Web  or  using  the  standard  paper  drop/add  form.    

The  clerkship  being  changed,  whether  location  or  rotation,  MUST  be  arranged  by  and  with  the  Coordinator  of  that  clerkship  (in  consultation  with  the  Director).  If  two  or  more  students  or  two  or  more  clerkships  are  involved  in  the  change,  all  Coordinators  that  pertain  MUST  be  involved.    The  Coordinators  will  then  inform  both  the  SITE  and  the  REGISTRAR.    

The   Coordinator  will   inform   the   new   site   Coordinator   and   the  original   site  Coordinator  of   the   change.   This  information  will  be  by  phone  and  by  email  and  will  be  to  the  clerkship  coordinators  and  to  chief  academic  officer  at  any  affiliated  Medical  Center.  The  Deans  of  Affiliations  will  also  be  copied.  Students  may  enlist   the  advice  or  help  of  any  faculty  member  or  Dean   in  effecting  a   change;  however   the  change  may  only  be  made  by  a  CLERKSHIP  COORDINATOR.  All  changes  must  be  reported  to  the  Registrar.

 General  Information    The  following  is  an  overview  of  the  Clinical  Curriculum,  its  requirements,  prerequisites,  and  procedures.    Jefferson  Medical  College  reserves  the  right  to  modify  information  and/or  requirements  as  listed  in  this  booklet.  Students  will  be  notified  if  any  changes  are  made  regarding  course  requirements/policies.  Determination  of  location  and  sequencing  of  all  rotations  is  reserved  to  the  college.  Affiliate  site  availability  and  enrollment  numbers  may  change  after  the  publication  of  these  materials.    Official  entry  into  the  Clinical  Curriculum  is  contingent  upon  obtaining  a  passing  score  in  Step  1  of  the  United  States  Medical  Licensing  Examination.       The  clinical  curriculum  program  starts  in  July  and  consists  of  100  weeks,  of  which:                   84  weeks  are  required  clerkships,               4  weeks’  vacations  are  mandatory  (2  weeks  during  each  Winter  Holiday  period),                 2  weeks’  vacation  in  June  between  the  third  and  fourth  years,                 2  weeks’  vacation  immediately  prior  to  graduation,  and               8  weeks  of  vacation  during  4th  Year  to  be  scheduled  to  fit  the  needs  of  the  students.           The  basic  units  of  the  calendar  are  six-­‐weeks  and  four-­‐week’s  blocks.        Phase  I  Requirements  –  Prior  to  beginning  4th  Year,  each  3rd  student  must  complete  the  following:       During  the  first  48  weeks,  the  sequence  of  courses  will  vary,  but  by  the  end  of  the  48  weeks         (corresponding  to  the  end  of  the  eighth  six-­‐week  block  of  the  third  year)  all  students  must  have    completed:               -­‐   six  weeks  of  Family  Medicine  (FMED  350)             -­‐   twelve  consecutive  weeks  of  Surgery/Surgical  Specialties/Selectives  (consisting  of:                   -­‐  six  weeks  of  General  Surgery  (SURG  350),  and                     -­‐  two  three-­‐week  rotations  of  Surgical  Specialties  and  Selectives               -­‐   twelve  consecutive  weeks  consisting  of  eight  weeks  of  Internal  Medicine  (MED  350)                 and  four  weeks  of  Neurology  (NEUR  350),               -­‐   six  weeks  of  Pediatrics  (PED  350)             -­‐   six  weeks  of  Psychiatry  and  Human  Behavior  (PSYH  350)             -­‐   six  weeks  of  Obstetrics/Gynecology  (OBGY  350)      

All  Phase  I  rotations,  with  the  exception  of  the  Neurology  and  Selective  rotations,  have  a  comprehensive  written  examination  at  the  conclusion  of  the  teaching  block.  Examination  grades  earned  will  be  posted  as  a  separate  entry  on  the  transcript.  

   General  Information  Concerning  the  Scheduling  Process    

• The  major  objective  is  to  give  each  student  the  highest  order  of  courses  and  locations  preferred,  while  also  meeting  Jefferson  and  affiliated  hospital  requirements.  Determination  of  final  location  and  sequencing  of  all  rotations  is  reserved  to  the  college.  

 • If  the  student's  first  preference  is  not  available,  due  to  enrollment  limitations  or  other  factors,  the  process  will  move  to  the  

next  highest  selection  depending  on  the  preference  selected  by  the  student  on  the  schedule  request  screen.      

If  a  student  fails  to  provide  alternate  choices  of  time  periods  and  locations,  and  the  first  choice  is  not  available,  the  student  will  be  assigned  when  and/or  where  space  is  available.

FAMED  350     FAMILY  MEDICINE                      

 Abington  Memorial  Hospital  As  a  family  medicine  teaching  program,  we  have  a  strong  commitment  to  teaching  medical  students.    Third  year  students  from  many  local  medical  schools  rotate  with  our  residents  on  the  Family  Medicine  Inpatient  Service  and  in   the   Family   Medicine   Center.     We   also   offer   four   week   and   two   week   fourth   year   elective   rotations   for  interested  medical  students.    Students  are  incorporated  into  all  aspects  of  the  Family  Medicine  Residency  during  their  rotations  with  us.    The  majority  of  student  time  is  spent  caring  for  patients  in  the  outpatient  setting  but  also  may  include  activities  such  as  rounding  in  the  hospital  with  the  family  medicine  residents  and  attending’s,  geriatric  facility  visits,  and  home  visits.    Medical  students  are   involve   in  all  conferences  and  didactic  programs  at   the  Abington  Family  Medicine  during  their  rotations  and  participate  in  a  series  of  lectures  on  the  top  20  diagnoses  in  primary  care  specifically  designed  for  the  students.    There   is  also  the  opportunity   for   interested  students  to  work  with  our  residents   in  other  activities  such  as  preparticipation  sports  physicals,  outpatient  office  procedures  and  research  projects  and  publications.          

Bryn  Mawr  Hospital    The  goal  of  this  six-­‐week  rotation  is  for  the  student  to  practice  and  improve  his/her  interviewing  and  physical  examination  skills  and   to  begin   integrating  patient  data  with  basic   science   to  make  relevant  clinical  decisions.    This   Family   Practice   rotation   is   intended   to   provide   the   third-­‐year   student   with   a   broad   clinical   experience.    There  is  ample  time  spent  in  the  hospital-­‐based  residency  practice  and  in  the  office  of  a  community-­‐based  family  practitioner.    The  array  of  exposures  will   include   the   family  practitioner   in   the  office,  making  home  visits  and  nursing  home  visits.     In  addition,   the   students  meet  with   faculty   for   seminars  on   clinical  problem  solving  and  interviewing  skills.    Students  are  responsible  for  reading  necessary  information  to  appropriately  learn  about  the  patients   they  have   seen.    An  evaluation  will  be  made  by   the  preceptor  with  whom   the   students  work  and   the  faculty  and  residents  at  Bryn  Mawr  Family  Practice.    

 

Christiana  Care  Health  Services    Students  will  be  exposed   to  a  wide  range  of   clinical  experiences  and  settings.    Students  spend   two  weeks   in  a  private  family  physician’s  office,  at   least  one  week  in  our  residency  practice,  several  sessions  in  an  urgent  care  setting,   as  well   as   several   varied   experiences   in   community  medicine,   including  HIV  Clinic,   nursing  home  and  home  visits.    As  part  of  the  rotation,  all  students  participate  in  a  practice  OSCe  session  in  our  Virtual  Education  and  Simulation  Center.      Lectures  also  include  interactive  didactic  sessions  on  common  outpatient  topics  as  well  as   an   introduction   to   evidence-­‐based   medicine.     Students   are   evaluated   by   the   course   director   outside  preceptors,   faculty,   residents  and  staff.    Mid-­‐rotation  meetings  are   informal  due   to   the  wide  range  of  assigned  locations.    The  clerkship  director  meets  with  all   students   for   several   sessions  of  orientation  and  most  Fridays  thereafter.        Due   to   the  varied   locations   to  which   the  students  must   travel,  an  automobile   is   required   for   this  rotation.

Excela  Health  Latrobe  Hospital    Students   get   to   interview   and   examine   patients   first   at   Latrobe.     The   student   takes   an   active   role   in  care/management  of  patients,  and  students  participate  in  clinical  analysis  processes.    Students  are  supervised  by  board-­‐certified  family  practice  attendings.    There  is  probably  no  other  site  within  the  Jefferson  system  at  which  the  students  get  this  opportunity  to  act  as  clinicians  and  to  contribute  so  directly  to  the  care  of  actual  patients.  Students  receive   informal   feedback   from  every  preceptor  with  whom  they  work.  Preceptors  relay   information  verbally  or  in  writing  to  the  clerkship  coordinator,  who  has  a  formal  face  to  face  discussion  with  the  students  in  mid-­‐course  and  at   the  end  of   the  rotation.    The  clerkship  coordinator  compiles   the  evaluations  and  writes   the  narrative   grade   report   to   send   back   to   Jefferson.     Students   are   evaluated   compared   to   the   theoretical  expectations  for  a  student  at  their  level  of  training  and  experience.    Knowledge,  professionalism,  personal  skills,  and  ability  to  think  in  clinical  terms  are  all  important  grading  factors.      

Inspira  Medical  Center  Woodbury    Our  faculty  has  training  in  sports  medicine  in  addition  to  a  focus  on  geriatrics.    We  have  our  own  prenatal  clinic,  which   is  supervised  by   local  obstetricians.    Mid  rotation  evaluations  occurs  at  3  weeks,  and  are   in   the   form  of  verbal  feedback.    We  evaluate  students  based  on  composite  scores  collected  from  all  physicians  that  worked  with  the   student.     Our   forms   mirror   the   criteria   present   on   the   final   evaluation   forms   sent   from   Jefferson.     All  subjective  comments  are  incorporated  in  the  evaluations.

NEURO  350                  NEUROLOGY    

Albert  Einstein  Medical  Center    During  this  rotation,  students  will  have  acquire  the  following:  

a.    A  sound  foundation  for  principles  of  neurologic  diagnosis;  b.    Introduction  to  common  neurological  syndromes  and  diseases,  focusing  on  pathophysiology,  common  presentations,  and  principles  of  management.  

For  each  patient  assigned,  students  will  perform  a  thorough  H&P  with  special  attention  to  neurological  symptoms  and  signs.  All  patients  will  be  presented  to  an  Attending  and  most  will  be  discussed  with  a  Neurology  resident  beforehand.  We  expect  you  to  propose  a  neurological  localization  and  differential  diagnosis  on  every  patient.  This  will  increase  your  facility  in  “thinking  neurologically.”  

Rotations  During  the  Clerkship:    

1.  Inpatient  Admitting  Service    2.  Inpatient  Consult  Service    3.  Outpatient  Clinics/  Neuroradiology/  Neuropathology    4.  ICU    

Other  Clerkship  Requirements:    

1.  Neuropathology  slide  review  and  assignment    2.  Patient  education  handout  assignment  for  “Neurology  Patient  Library”    3.  Attend  neurology  trainee  conferences  and  student  centered  conferences,  unless  excused  for  other  duties.    

 

Christiana  Care  Health  Services  –  Christiana  Hospital    Students  are  paired  with  an  attending  neurologist.    They  work  with  the  attending  directly  in  terms  of  performing  consultations,  seeing  follow-­‐up  patients  and  learning  to  further  their  skills  in  the  neurological  examination.  

There  is  close  attention  to  helping  develop  a  through  differential  dx  and  plan.    Students  are  encouraged  to  review  and  discuss  the  medical  literature  with  the  neurologist  with  whom  they  are  working.  

Opportunities  to  work  with  inpatient  neurology  attendings  in  the  ICU  and  floors  settings  are  under  development.  

 

Lankenau  Hospital    The  Lankenau   Jefferson  student  neurology  rotation   is  a  mentor/mentee  driven  model   that   is  singular   in   the  medical  school  experience  at   Jefferson.    The  student  who  selects  Lankenau  will  be  assigned  to  a  specific  neurology  attending;  there  are  no  neurology  residents  here.    All  of  our  attendings  have  substantial  subspecialty  experience  and  several  of  our  staff  members  are  nationally  recognized  in  their  respective  fields.    The  student  will  work  intensively  with  their  assigned  attending  who  will  also  direct  their  clinical  and  learning  experience  such  that  it  will  be  diversified  across  the  spectrum  of  neurological  disorders  and  their  treatment,  predominantly  in  the  outpatient  setting  where  most  neurologic  disease  is  treated,  as  well  as  on  the  inpatient  service  and  in  the  emergency  room.

Core   curriculum   is   based   on   a   U.S.   national   curriculum   in   pediatrics   developed   to   prepare   students   for   the  pediatric   portion   of   the   USMLE   Step   2   examination.     Teaching   at   all   sites   focuses   on   small   group   case-­‐based  learning   in  addition   to  web-­‐based  pediatric   cases.     Students  at   all   sites  also  attend   resident   lectures,  morning  report,   and   grand   rounds.     Pediatrics:   A   Competency   Based   Approach   textbook   is   loaned   to   students   for   use  during  the  rotation.    

Clinical   skills   are   taught   on   the   first   day   of   the   clerkship   during   a   “Clinical   Skills   Day.”     History   taking,  communication  and  physical  exam  skills  are  developed  during  the  clerkship  using  direct  observation  (SCOs)  and  videotaping  of  a  patient  encounter  with  review  and  feedback  by  a  faculty  member.    

Students   receive   feedback   at   the   end  of   each   component   (Nursery,   Inpt,  OPD)  of   the   rotation   and   after   direct  observation   and   video   review.     The   final   student   evaluation   is   based   on   performance   of   all   elements   of   the  clerkship.    The  NBME  subject  examination  in  Pediatrics  is  given  at  the  end  of  the  rotation.    Delaware  Valley  Clerkship    During  the  Delaware  Valley  Clerkship  (DVC),  students  rotate  through  one  of   the   following   locations  -­‐   Jefferson  and   duPont   Hospital   for   Children,   Christiana   or   Bryn  Mawr   for   a   two  week   inpatient   experience;   Christiana,  Einstein   or   Jefferson   nurseries   for   a   one  week;   and   various   sites   in  Delaware   and   the   Philadelphia   area   for   a  three  week  outpatient  experience.    The  distribution  of  students  within  each  clerkship  block  is  shown  in  the  table  below.

CLINICAL  ASSIGNMENTS  Several  types  of  clerkship  experiences  are  offered  at  Jefferson  and  our  affiliates.    All  of  the  placements  utilize  the  "treatment  team"  approach  -­‐  a  multidisciplinary  team  that  works  together  to  treat  patients.  As  a  medical  student,  you   are   viewed   as   an   active  member   of   the   treatment   team.     As   your   confidence   and   skills   increase,   you   can  become   increasingly   involved   in   team   decisions   and   interventions.     Wherever   you   are   assigned   within   our  teaching   network,   you   will   have   exposure   to   at   least   two   different   clinical   services   during   your   work   in   the  department.  

Students  are  evaluated  at  the  end  of  each  three  week  core  rotation  by  the  main  attending  who  supervises  them,  with   input   from   residents   and   other   attendings.   Students   are   also   evaluated   on   the   basis   of   content   and  thoroughness   of   write-­‐ups   and   presentations   on   rounds,   basic   familiarity   with   differential   diagnosis   and  treatment,  and  empathic  interaction  with  patients.  Their  formal  case  write-­‐ups  are  evaluated  for  clarity,  detail,  differential  diagnosis,  and  treatment  plan.  The  criteria  used  for  evaluation  include:  1)  Professional  Behavior,  2)  Cognitive   Skills,   and   3)   Clinical   Skills.   Data   is   compiled   for   review   by   the   Clerkship   Director   and   Assistant  Clerkship  Director,  who  determine  final  grades.    

ALBERT  EINSTEIN  MEDICAL  CENTER  AEMC   is   a   large   tertiary   teaching   center   and   part   of   the   Jefferson  Health   System.     Each   student   spends   three  weeks  on  two  of  the  following  three  services:   inpatient  psychiatry  (adult  or  geriatric);  consultation  and  liaison  psychiatry;  and  emergency  psychiatry  (Crisis  Response  Center,  for  adults,  adolescents,  and  children).    The  CRC  is  a   free-­‐standing  service  adjacent   to   the  emergency  room.    The  CRC  evaluates  over  6000  patients  per  year,   and  over  one-­‐third  of  patients  are  children.    The  CRC  also  performs  psychiatric  consultations  in  the  ER.    The  Consult  Service   is   similarly   busy   and   evaluates   medical   and   surgical   patients   with   psychiatric   questions   throughout  AEMC.        

BELMONT  BEHAVIORAL  HOSPITAL    Belmont  Behavioral  Hospital   is  a   large  psychiatric  care  system  within   the   Jefferson  System  and   is  known  both  regionally   and  nationally   for   its   expertise   in   the   treatment   of   the   entire   spectrum  of   psychiatric   disorders.   At  Belmont,   each   student  will   spend   three  weeks   on   two   of   the   following   three   services;   general   adult   inpatient  psychiatry,  geriatric   inpatient  psychiatry,  and  specialty  services   (e.g.  eating  disorders  and  affective  disorders);  Co-­‐occurring  disorder   inpatient  unit  (sometimes  referred  to  as  the  “dual  diagnosis”  program,  for  patients  with  simultaneous   addictive   and   non-­‐addictive   psychiatric   disorders);   and   the   child   and   adolescent   inpatient  program.    

BRYN  MAWR  HOSPITAL    Bryn  Mawr  Hospital   is   a   state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art   regional   facility   serving   Philadelphia   and   its  western   suburbs.     Bryn  Mawr  Hospital  has  earned  a  reputation  for  providing  personalized  care  by  exceptional  physicians,  surgeons  and  nursing   staff.     Bryn   Mawr   Hospital   operates   inpatient   and   outpatient   treatment   programs.     Mental   Health  services   include   an   inpatient   general   adult   psychiatry   unit,   a   hospital   psychiatric   consultation   service,   and  outpatient  programs,  including  partial  hospital  and  intensive  outpatient,  for  mental  health  and  substance  abuse  located  at  the  main  hospital  site  and  at  satellites  throughout  the  region.    House  staff  and  medical  students  from  Jefferson   receive   clinical   training   at   Bryn   Mawr   in   various   specialties.     The   psychiatry   rotation   for   medical  students   includes  work   in  a  variety  of   settings.  The   inpatient  experience   is   the  anchor  over   the  6  weeks,  with  varying   amounts   of   Emergency   Room   and   Consultation   Service   experience.   The   inpatient   unit   treats   a   wide  variety  of  psychiatric  disorders  using  a  multidisciplinary  team  approach.

PSYCHB  350      PSYCHIATRY  AND  HUMAN  BEHAVIOR    

THOMAS  JEFFERSON  UNIVERSITY  HOSPITAL    The  6-­‐week  Psychiatry  Rotation  at  Thomas  Jefferson  University  Hospital  is  split  between  2  of  the  services  below.    

Adult  Inpatient  Psychiatry  The  Thomas  Jefferson  University  Hospital  operates  a  16  bed  general  adult  inpatient  unit.  This  unit  offers  intensive  psychiatric  care  to  individuals,  including  patients  with  underlying  medical  complications.  A  multidisciplinary  treatment  approach  is  used  in  which  patients  receive  the  benefit  of  working  with  psychiatrists,  psychologists,  social  workers,  psychiatric  nurses,  and  occupational/recreational  therapists.  Extensive  evaluation  of  treatment  needs  is  performed  for  all  individuals  and  typically  includes  pharmacotherapy,  individual  and  group  therapy,  and  milieu  treatment  in  an  intensive  setting.    Geriatric  Psychiatry  The  inpatient  geriatric  unit  provides  geriatric  patients  with  quality  multidisciplinary  care,  thorough  individual  attention,  supportive  group  therapies,  and  various  amenities  to  treat  age-­‐related  conditions,  such  as  Dementia,  Depression,  Anxiety,  and  Psychosis.  Our  distinguished,  multidisciplinary  team  helps  patients  regain  their  abilities  to  function  independently,  and  carefully  assesses  their  readiness  to  return  home  or  their  need  for  long-­‐term  rehabilitation.    Outpatient  Programs  (OPP)    The  outpatient  programs  are  comprised  of  general  adult  outpatient  psychiatry,  the  Adult  Outpatient  Service  (AOS),  and  specialized  services  for  patients  with  substance  use  disorders,  the  Narcotic  Addict  Recovery  Program  (NARP)  and  the  Family  Center.    In  these  varied  settings  students  will  participate  in  the  initial  evaluation  and  follow  up  of  patients  with  a  wide  spectrum  of  psychopathology,  including  anxiety,  mood,  psychotic,  substance  use  and  personality  disorders.  

This  is  a  busy  outpatient  treatment  program,  treating  mood  and  anxiety  disorders,  stabilized  psychotic  disorders,  personality  disorders,  adjustment  disorders,  substance  use  disorders,  and  relationship  problems.    This  is  a  major  training  site  for  PGY-­‐III  and  PGY-­‐IV  psychiatry  residents,  with  whom  students  conduct  new  patient  evaluations,  discuss  ongoing  treatment,  and  observe  live  patient  interviews  through  a  one-­‐way  mirror.    All  new  patients  are  presented  to  attending  psychiatrists  after  workup  by  the  students  and  residents  for  initial  case  diagnosis,  formulation,  and  treatment  planning.    An  applied  psychopharmacology  case  conference  and  dynamic  formulation  and  treatment  conference  occur  weekly.    Students  prepare  presentations  on  topics  assigned  by  our  chief  residents.  

The  Jefferson  Narcotic  Addict  Rehabilitation  Program  (NARP)  is  an  outpatient  substance  abuse  recovery  program  that  specializes  in  providing  treatment  to  people  who  are  addicted  to  opiates  (such  as  heroin,  oxycontin,  percoset,  etc.).  Recovery  is  initiated  and  achieved  through  regular  psychotherapy  and  available  psychiatric  services,  paired  with  methadone  maintenance  therapy  to  suppress  symptoms  of  opiate  withdrawal,  decrease  cravings,  and  block  the  effects  of  other  opiates.  Further  support  and  development  is  found  through  engagement  in  on-­‐site  psychotherapy  groups  and  peer-­‐run  self-­‐help  groups,  as  well  as  through  involvement  in  the  greater  substance  abuse  community.    Consultation  and  Liaison  Psychiatry  The  C-­‐L  service  serves  the  general  hospital  to  help  diagnose  and  treat  the  psychiatric  illnesses  that  cause,  complicate,  and  result  from  serious  medical  and  surgical  problems.
