Course Information
Description
Advanced Clinical Elective (Sub-Internship) in Interventional Radiology (IR) Massachusetts General Hospital.
Students will have direct patient responsibilities. The student will participate in the work-up of patients who are scheduled to undergo interventional procedures by reviewing the indications for the procedure, the pre-procedural imaging and laboratory parameters, and will present these data during the daily divisional working rounds. Similar to a junior resident, the students will then have the opportunity to participate in these scheduled procedures as a supervised assistant operator, gaining experience in developing clinical and technical skills. The student will be expected to outline the patient's experience during interventional procedures including pre-procedural preparation, procedural sedation, procedural outcomes and post procedural care and follow up management. Additionally, the student will round on inpatients with all members of the team including physicians, nurses, and physician assistants. The students will have the opportunity to participate in the longitudinal care of patients and developing a better understanding of the Interventional Radiologist's role in the care of complex patients. Students will have the opportunity to attend and participate in multi-disciplinary conferences and clinics to observe the IR team devise appropriate management strategies and therapies while gaining insight into the value of interventional radiology in patient centered care. At the conclusion of the elective the student will be expected to give a short presentation detailing a clinical case/procedure in which he or she was involved, with accompanying medical justification/literature support.
