Course Coordinator: Dr. Harris L. Cohen Location: LBCMC Size: 2
This is a face to face clinical rotation offered in the fall and spring and receiving 3.5 credit hours. Course Description: This course is designed as an introduction to the unique aspects of pediatric imaging over various ages of childhood. The objectives for this course are to increase student’s awareness of the capabilities of the various imaging exams available for children appropriately and to improve their ability to correctly order such exams as well as diagnose various diseases with those imaging tools. Students will have some responsibility for viewing 25 cases a day under the supervision of faculty, residents, and fellows. Students will attend daily lectures, daily work rounds, and weekly specialty conferences. Students have the opportunity to shadow the on-call radiology resident at LeBonheur. Some perinatal work including fetal MR and fetal ultrasound will be used for improving student knowledge of perinatal imaging. RAD1-4019/F RADIOLOGY RESEARCH ELECTIVE Course Coordinators: Harris L.

Cohen, M.D. (hcohen@uthsc.edu) Research elective co-director: Asim F. Choudhri, M.D. (achoudhri@uthsc.edu) Goals and objectives of elective: At the end of this rotation, it is expected that the student will learn appropriate methods for effective and ethical clinical research. During the elective the student will: - Obtain UTHSC IRB training through the iRIS website - Learn to perform database searches of the electronic medical record -Learn to save DICOM studies from the PACS archive - Learn to anonymize imaging studies for research purposes -Learn to use the Edactic teaching file software (edactic.com) for clinical research projects - Learn how to critically review the literature and perform a literature search - Learn how to formulate a research hypothesis - Learn how to write and submit an IRB protocol and an IRB exemption - Learn how to collect data and enter it into a secure database - Learn how to write an abstract for a scientific meeting - Learn how to create and present a presentation of original research - Learn how to collaborate on clinical research projects with clinical colleagues from various medical fields -Understand the concepts of peer-review - Learn how to submit case reports, research articles, review articles, and letters to the editor for various journals, including the use of a journal's "Instructions for Authors" as a guide to formatting a submission - Learn about journal impact factors and how they are calculated -Learn the concept of the "h-index" and how it is calculated
Radiology and multidisciplinary conferences pertaining to their area(s) of research. Expectations: 1- The student will participate in at least one existing research project, and formulate a hypothesis for a new research project 2- The student will write at least one IRB protocol, preferably evaluating a new hypothesis 3- Verbal progress reports will take place daily with mentors. Informal written progress reports will be expected weekly. 4- The student will participate in writing at least one abstract for a scientific meeting or institutional research seminar 5- At the end of the rotation, the student will provide to the Department Chair a written summary of actions performed during the rotation. The written summary will include references and figures. 6- The student will provide a formal presentation to the Radiology Department of research performed during the rotation Additional opportunities for motivated students. 1- In addition to the formal responsibilities of the rotation, the student is encouraged to write and submit a case report for peer review based upon a case the student clinically participated in. The student should identify an appropriate case, perform a review of the medical chart, perform a literature search on the topic, speak with clinicians of various medical specialties who participated in the care of this patient and/or who are experts in the topic, identify an appropriate journal to submit the case report, write the case report in the format required for this journal, and submit the report. Radiological findings should be one key element of the case report. 2- The student is encouraged to identify areas of clinical interest to participate in formulation and writing of an unknown case, book chapter, review article, or other form of scholarly output. While such efforts will likely extend beyond the time period of the elective, only work performed during the elective will be considered when formulating the evaluation of the elective (i.e. the evaluation will not include description of future promised work, only work completed).RAD1-4021/F INTRODUCTION TO CLINICAL RADIATION ONCOLOGY Course Coordinator: Drs. Michael Farmer, Matthew Ballo and Noam VanderWalde Size: 2 Location: Basement of the Thomas Wing at Methodist University Hospital This is a face to face clinical rotation offered in the fall and spring and receiving 7 or 3.5 credit hours. This elective can be halftime RAD1-4021/H The objectives for this course: Patient Care Our program is committed to training the most competent clinical physicians. Patient care is taught through one-on-one direct teaching interaction with attending staff that occur during the care of oncology patients. In addition, specialized training in physical exams (for example: head and neck exams, gynecological exams) are provided by the attending staff during the clinical rotations. Students are required to know the work-up and staging of each cancer type, how to develop and execute an appropriate radiotherapy plan to treat each cancer type, how to manage acute and late complications, and how to follow the patient after completion of treatment. These skills are taught individually in one-on-one direct clinical interaction with attending staff and through written teaching material. Assessment of competency in patient care is evaluated by the attending staff during the student’s rotation. Medical Knowledge Students are required to gain a general understanding of clinical radiation oncology, radiation physics, and radiation biology. Medical knowledge is taught through case studies of patients under the care of the attending/resident team and through didactic lectures. Medical physics and radiobiology is taught through case studies of patients under the care of the attending/resident team. The medical, physics and biology knowledge base are assessed by a faculty evaluation during clinical case studies. Practice Based Improvement Our rotation is committed to train medical school students in the practice of evidence based medicine. Practice-based learning and improvement skills are taught through our daily planning clinics and clinical case discussions. During the rotation each student is expected to make weekly oral presentations concerning patient management to the attending staff. The attending staff will provide feedback concerning their presentation and engage the student in a discussion of relevant literature. We ask that the student select one disease site and study the published NCCN guidelines. They are then asked to take a brief oral examination on the topic or do an oral presentation. The degree to which the student understands evidence-based medicine is assessed at mid-rotation and at the end of their rotation. Inter-professional and Communications Skills Students are required to develop effective communication skills in patient care management, communication with other physicians, and in scientific presentations. Communication skills are taught through didactic lectures and by direct feedback on patient presentations. As previously mentioned, trainees give several oral presentations per clinical rotation. During the rotation the attending physician will assess the students “tumor board” communications skills and medical knowledge.
Our department is committed to furthering the professional and ethical practice skills of our medical school students. Professionalism is assessed by the attending physicians.
During the clinical rotation individual faculty teach systems-based practice issues. As a department we strive to prepare students to work within the healthcare system, optimize cost and outcomes, improve the system, and transform the health care system. Students must demonstrate an awareness of and responsiveness to the larger context and system of health care and the ability to effectively call on system resources to provide care that is of optimal value.
involve the medical school student in decision making and radiation oncology based procedures. The attending physician is expected to engage the student in their education and test their patient care abilities, medical knowledge, understanding of practice based improvement, communication skills, professionalism, and understanding of systems based practice.
