Courses of Instruction II

Courses of Instruction III

Required Courses

First Year An introduction to clinical medicine consists of exercises throughout the year which, insofar as possible, demonstrate the clinical application of material being taught in the basic sciences and emphasize the desirability of scientists and clinicians working together in order to understand a clinical problem. Staff

Second Year Teaching of medicine in the second year is incorporated into: (1) the course Biology of Disease, which emphasizes the relationship between pathological processes and the manifestations of disease as well as etiology, diagnosis, and management of illness, and (2) the Introduction to Clinical Medicine II course, which focuses on history taking, physical examination, and reporting skills. Staff

Third Year This is the principal clinical year in which students serve as clinical clerks for eleven weeks on the medical wards and outpatient programs of affiliated hospitals and neighborhood health centers. Students are divided into small groups and become an integral part of supervised teams of physicians-in-training who provide care for patients in the hospital and ambulatory settings. They participate in ward rounds, clinics, and special conferences that emphasize diagnosis and therapeutics, and the integration of biologic, psychosocial, and environmental factors that impact the understanding and management of illness. Staff

Fourth Year The department offers subinternships during which students obtain advanced training in internal medicine. They serve as members of patient care teams on the medical services of affiliated hospitals and assume, with supervision, a greater degree of clinical responsibility than do third year clerks. Faculty with appointments in the Department of Medicine supervise the fourth-year requirement of the Home Medical Service in which students join a team of physicians, nurses, and other clinicians to provide care for a frail, homebound, and largely elderly population of patients. The department also sponsors many electives, both clinical and research oriented, for further study in internal medicine and its subspecialties, including arthritis, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, general internal medicine, geriatrics, hematology, hypertension, respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, oncology, peripheral vascular, and nephrology.

General characteristics of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, and fungal infections of humans are covered. Study of the genetics and physiology of organisms gives a basis for understanding of diagnosis, sensitivity to environment and antibiotics. Laboratory instruction includes the elements of bacteriological technique and observation of the characteristic properties of the more common microorganisms including their biochemical activity and genetics. Essential knowledge concerning biology, epidemiology, and clinical laboratory diagnosis of important diseases due to animal parasites is presented. In addition to classroom lectures, wet laboratories, and group case discussions, video discs and interactive computer programs are part of the learning experience. Staff

Courses

Trauma
The elective will be shaped according to the individual student’s future objectives. In particular, there is access to pediatric and adult trauma as well as hand trauma and spine trauma.

As an orthopaedic team member, the student will participate actively in the care of patients seen in the operating rooms, emergency rooms, clinics, and on the floors. Much of the time will be spent in the emergency care of patients, fracture reduction, application of casts and splints, and participating in the daily work effort. Students are encouraged to go to the operating room to observe cases on patients whom they have treated. The basic schedule begins at 5:30 a.m. with ward rounds, followed by a conference at 6:15 a.m. in which the attending staff reviews all of the patients treated the previous day and their x-rays. There are teaching conferences on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and some Tuesdays. These conferences include grand rounds, didactic lectures, and a weekly case review of all operations performed during the week. Attending physicians run all conferences. Guest lecturers are frequently present for grand rounds presentations.

This elective offers multiple opportunities in the clinical and academic environment from which the student can draw. The elective is a busy one but should be extremely educational. The opportunity to get involved in research also exists. Dr. Tornetta and associates

Orthopaedic Sports Medicine and Adult Reconstruction
This elective is for fourth-year medical students interested in pursuing a career in orthopaedic surgery or a sports medicine-related field. The student will be involved with inpatient/outpatient as well as on-the-field evaluation and treatment of athletic injuries. This would include sports medicine clinics at Boston Medical Center and Boston University. The student will also be involved closely with inpatient care of the orthopaedic service patients and with the surgical procedures performed by the preceptor. Furthermore, the student will be expected, at the appropriate time of year, to attend intercollegiate athletic events with the preceptor for on-the-field management and care of athletic injuries. Dr. Schepsis and associates

Orthopaedic Pediatric, Foot and Ankle, Hand and Spine Surgery
Boston Medical Center has an active orthopaedic staff with the majority of operative procedures being reconstructive operations. The student will work with four orthopaedic surgeons specializing in foot and ankle, pediatric, hand and spine surgery. The student will act in the capacity of a junior resident with regular patient responsibilities plus operating room duties. He/she will attend the teaching conferences and rounds of the orthopaedic staff. It is not intended that the student act as an observer in this elective but as an integral part of the patient care team. Dr. Pacicca and associates

Pediatric Orthopaedics
The student will work at Shriners Hospital for Children in Springfield, Massachusetts. This institution has 40 inpatient beds, three operating rooms, extensive outpatient clinics, a Gait Analysis Laboratory, and a Department of Orthotics and Prosthetics. The student will participate in outpatient and inpatient activities as well as daily teaching conferences. Time will be allowed for clinical research. The elective will be quite valuable for future orthopaedic surgeons, pediatricians, radiologists and family practitioners. Dr. Drvaric and associates

PATHOLOGY AND LABORATORY MEDICINE

Required Courses

First Year

Medical Immunology

Basic principles of immunology, with emphasis on their medical relevance, presented through lectures and reading. Dr. Sharon

Second Year

General Pathology

Core curriculum offered in the first semester dealing with general principles and fundamental mechanisms of disease. A variety of learning experiences is offered, including (1) lectures; (2) laboratories, using images from gross and microscopic examination of tissues, and informal discussions based on interactive computer modules developed specifically for the course; and (3) optional autopsy and gross pathology demonstrations at the hospital. The laboratory computer-based study supports the didactic program by correlating clinical, anatomic, and molecular changes. All course materials are available via computer which enhances the presentation of gross and microscopic pathology and provides complete review material for students. The course emphasizes the fact that a knowledge of pathology provides insights into the mechanisms and dynamics of the clinical manifestations of organic disease and provides the tools for clinical problem solving. Drs. Gottlieb, Rogers, O'Brien and Pathology faculty

Systemic Pathology

Systemic pathology taught by organ systems closely integrated with clinical medicine and the other basic sciences in the course Biology of Disease. To provide such an integration, many disciplines within the Medical School collaborate to produce an in-depth presentation of the diseases affecting each organ system; particular emphasis is placed on the interrelationships among the pathogenesis of a disease, the tissue changes evoked, and the resultant clinical picture. The program offers an effective method of understanding the clinical implications of pathology and its immediate relevance to the patient. Drs. Gottlieb, Rogers, O'Brien and Pathology faculty

Physiology and Biophysics

In the year 2000, the Department of Physiology merged with the Department of Biophysics to create a new department called Physiology and Biophysics with enhanced programs in graduate education and research. Research in the new department encompasses many facets of structural biology, cell biology, molecular and cellular physiology, and molecular biophysics, with excellent departmental facilities that provide state-of-the-art instrumentation and tools needed for our research. X-ray diffractometers, electron microscopes, NMR spectrometers, computers (SGI, DEC/Compaq, PCs), centrifuges, and other biochemical equipment are all available within the Department. The research programs of the faculty are extremely well supported by research grants from the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association, and other funding agencies. The size of the Department is conducive to collaborations between groups and many of the faculty hold joint appointments in the Department of Biochemistry or the Department of Medicine. The Department sponsors a weekly seminar series that features both local and outside speakers. The Department has exciting MA/PhD programs involving about 40 students concentrating on biophysical physiology and structural biology. The Department is responsible for teaching the first-year courses in physiology and endocrinology for medical students, and contributes to the interdepartmental neuroscience course.

Required Courses

First Year

Physiology Course

This course presents the mechanisms underlying the function of the body from molecular and cellular levels to integrated functions of the organ systems. It devotes considerable time to the regulation and integration of these systems in the body as a whole. The physiological basis for understanding clinical conditions is also presented. Small group problem-solving discussions, of mainly clinical cases, promote the participation of students. Students also carry out observations and physiological measurement on themselves wherever possible.

Endocrinology Course

This course presents the role of the endocrine glands and the hormones they produce in maintaining normal physiological function. It includes consideration of the structure of hormones and their receptors; the mechanisms of hormone production and secretion and how these are regulated; the modes of transportation in the blood; and the mechanisms and modes of hormone action in target tissues. Small group, problem-based, discussions include considerations of the ways in which defects in the normal endocrine processes give rise to a range of endocrine disorders.
