Course Information
Description
The course is designed to give the senior medical students a broad experience in clinical anesthesiology that is consistent with student’s career goals and motivation for taking the course. The student is assigned clinical learning activities primarily in the operating rooms at BIDMC. Each day, the student is assigned to an anesthesia faculty member (and usually an anesthesia resident), who will instruct and supervise the student during their learning experience. The student initially will be assigned to operating rooms where non-complex, predominantly ambulatory procedures are being performed, so that the basics of simple anesthetics and airway management can be mastered. As the month progresses, the student will be assigned to progressively more complex surgical procedures with more complex patients, so that the student can gain an understanding of advanced anesthetic techniques and the perioperative medical management of patients with co-morbidities. In addition to these clinical assignments, the student will attend department conferences and lectures. By the end of the month, the student is expected to complete a paper with presentation of anesthesia topic of their choice.
