Course Information

Description

The course will give students a well-rounded exposure to clinical cardiology as it is practiced in a community hospital. Students will participate in the evaluation and care of inpatient cardiology admissions; make daily rounds in the coronary care unit with the Unit Attending Physician; see and present cardiology consultations; and assist in exercise testing and echocardiography. In addition, students may sit in on ECG reading sessions and observe the various clinical activities within the cardiology division, such as cardiac catheterization procedures, electrophysiology procedures and structural heart procedures.  Opportunities may also be available for experience in evaluation of cardiac patients in the outpatient setting, and for observation of cardiac surgery.
