E501 Sub-Residency in Clinical Anesthesiology
This four week elective can be customized
to meet your developing interest in Anesthesiology. Students can
choose 2 two-week blocks from the following areas:
General Anesthesia: Students can
learn from the anesthetic management in general surgical cases.
Emphasis will be preoperative evaluation, airway management,
pharmacologic principles of anesthetic agents and choice of anesthetic
technique.
Pediatric Anesthesia: Students can
learn from the anesthetic management of pediatric cases. The
Children's Hospital at Montefiore and the large NICU at Weiler provide a
broad range of cases for the student. Emphasis will be on
preoperative evaluation, airway management and intraoperative management
of children from premature babies to teenagers.
Obstetrical Anesthesia: Students
can learn from the anesthetic management of obstetrical cases. The
extremely busy high-risk obstetric floor at the Weiler campus provides
an opportunity to see the management of various pregnancy-related
problems. Emphasis will be on physiologic changes with pregnancy
and the management of regional anesthesia for both labor and delivery.
Neurosurgical Anesthesia: Students
can learn from the anesthetic management of neurosurgical cases at the
Moses OR. Emphasis will be on preoperative evaluation, airway
management, hemodynamic monitoring and intraoperative management of
vascular cases.
Vascular Anesthesia:
Students can learn from the anesthetic management of vascular cases at the
Moses OR. These patients represent some of our most complicated
cases from coexisting disease viewpoint. Emphasis will be on
preoperative evaluation, airway management, homodynamic monitoring and
intraoperative management of neurosurgical cases.
Rotations in other specialty areas, such
as, Cardiothoracic Anesthesia (E201), Pain Management (E301) and the ICU
are possible. Students can also choose to spend all of their time
in one specialty area. Students will participate in patient
evaluation, administration of anesthesia and postoperative follow-up
under the guidance of an attending anesthesiologist. Please call
the sites to set up your rotations.
