Research

This course comprises a mix of one-on-one meetings with the student's physician coach to reflect on performance, assess strengths & weakness, & co-create learning plans for continued development of clinical skills. Students meet at regular intervals with their small group to jointly reflect on patient care experiences & learn from each other as they near completion of their journey to physicianhood.

Students participate in the care of critically ill patients in intensive care settings ranging from pediatrics to medical, surgical, and adult units. The focus is on the management of multisystem disease, and the treatment of respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and hemodynamic compromise.

Students continue to check-in with their patient and advocate for them with the healthcare team. During this time, students will prepare a summary of the patient¿s conditions and the status of their care to communicate important aspects of their care for the next team member as the student prepares to graduate.

ACEs are 4-week clinical rotations during which students develop advanced clinical skills as they take on increased responsibilities for the evaluation and management of patients. Students are integrated as members of the healthcare team, to meet patients' needs. Students exercise critical thinking as they develop treatment plans under supervision and receive feedback in preparation for day one of residency.

This required rotation provides students an opportunity to evaluate undifferentiated patients in the emergency department (ED). Students apply history taking and physical exam skills learned during Foundations of Clinical Medicine (FCM) and the third-year clerkships to an acute care setting.
