Course Information
Description
The student will function as an integral member of the ICU team in a busy 20-bed mixed medical, surgical, and cardiac ICU where at least half the patients are on the medical service. The student's primary role will be caring for medical ICU patients under the supervision of the medical resident and the Pulmonary and Critical Care attending. There is also opportunity to participate in the care of critically ill patients on the surgical and cardiothoracic surgical services. The unique setting of Mount Auburn Hospital allows for the diagnosis and management of common and uncommon life-threatening illness presenting from the community. Management of respiratory failure, sepsis, shock, cardiac injury and stroke will be emphasized. A detailed schedule will be provided prior to the course outset. The student will have two long call days per week, during which they will admit one patient with an intern/resident team and then transfer care to an incoming overnight team in the evening. The student will have two days off per week. In addition to participating in patient care, the student will attend a regular ICU didactic lecture series and medical grand rounds.
