Children With Special Medical Needs- Jacobi Medical Center
The Division of Children with Special Medical Needs provides the acute and
chronic medical care for patients with complex medical illnesses.
Diagnoses vary, but include spina bifida, chronic lung disease, hypoxic
encephalopathy, neurologic disorders, neurocutaneous disorders, and
genetic illnesses. Many children are technology dependent and require
ventilators, tracheostomies, gastrostomies, and venticuloperitoneal
shunts. Students will take an active part in all clinical activities,
including outpatient clinics, in patient rounds, telephone triage, and
home nursing issues. Students are expected to choose one patient and

expertise in dealing with homeless populations. Families are provided
with a "medical home" while they reside in the shelter and are given assistance
with transitioning to medical care in their community once they are in
permanent housing. Care is multidisciplinary, utilizing a team consisting
of a registered nurse, case manager, outreach worker, nutritionist and psychologist
in addition to the medical providers. Services are enhance with computerized
medical records and twenty-four phone coverage.
The South Bronx Children's
Health Center is a community health center located in a federally designated
health professional shortage area. The center provides comprehensive health
care for children and adolescents, as well as, all adult services. A wide
array of other health and social services are available to improve access
for this underserved community. The center also maintains close linkages
with the community by participating in neighborhood based coalitions and
local activities. The South Bronx Children's Health Center also operates
a school based clinic in a middle school serving one thousand students.
Goals:
•Recognize the medical issues relevant to underserved and homeless
populations.
•Acquire knowledge about the physiologic issues relevant to the
underserved and homeless population and the methods for
addressing these
issues.
•Learn about the barriers
to medical care for underserved/homeless population and identify the
ways in which families deal with
adverse conditions.
•Develop an understanding of the ways in which clinical care can be
responsive to the medical and cultural needs of the
community an learn about available community resource

history, promote effective cardiopulmonary auscultation, reduce the
uncertainty of ECG and chest x-ray intervention and effectively utilize
other diagnostic resources. The
student will have one on one instruction, mentoring by a faculty member.
Didactic
Experience:
The Faculty and Fellows of the Divisions of Pediatric Cardiology and
Cardiothoracic Surgery provide formal didactic training through a core
curriculum with the additional experience of weekly didactic lectures and
multidisciplinary conferences. The
Pediatric Cardiology Faculty preceptor mentors students on an individual
basis, affording the student the opportunity to address clinical and
didactic issues with the faculty member which are not apparent in larger
group discussions. Weekly
lectures on topics related to medical or surgical management of acquired
and congenital heart diseases are offered.
In addition to weekly formal joint teaching rounds, the student
will attend and participate in the weekly Cardiac-Medical Surgical
Management Conferences, as well as, the weekly Pre-catherization
conference.
The
format of the Pediatric Cardiology Elective may be modified to accommodate
a student’s particular interest. The
latter include emphasis on invasive or noninvasive interventions or
initiation of a clinical research protocol.
Pediatric
Cardiology is a challenging subspecialty.
After completing this elective however, the student should be
comfortable with the clinical dilemmas confronting the general
pediatrician, internist or surgeon dealing with congenital and acquired
cardiovascular diseases in the prenatal, pediatric and young adult
population.
