THE SCIENCE OF CLINICAL THERAPEUTICS

MEDICINE 913

Enhance understanding of clinical therapies and evidence-based best practice in the acute care setting. Apply this knowledge to understand clinical interventions for diseases that are seen commonly in residency: Describe the multiple common diseases and conditions; discuss their molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology; choose appropriate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies; and apply molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology to decisions about therapeutic treatment. Appraise published basic science literature and clinical guidelines, and apply knowledge to clinical case scenarios.

HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY ELECTIVE

MEDICINE 935

Exposure to patients in outpatient hematology and oncology clinics and on the inpatient consultation service. Oncology-focused rotation topics include staging and prognosis of different malignancies, basics of chemotherapy classes, and indications for chemotherapy. Hematology content includes the diagnostic approach to clotting disorders, anemia, and/or abnormal blood counts. Different chemotherapy treatments for hematologic malignancy may be included in this course. Independent reading is expected; didactic conferences are site-specific.

IMMUNOHEMATOLOGY

PATH 924

Utilize a case-based learning approach to interpret blood bank test results such as ABO typing data, antibody screens, antibody panels, and direct antiglobulin tests. Identify antibodies to red blood cell and platelet antigens. Demystify the inner workings of the blood bank clinical laboratory. Improve your ability to understand and communicate results from the blood bank.

LABORATORY MEDICINE CUSTOMIZED

PATH 922
