DESCRIPTION:
Teaching is based on the patient material available in both the outpatient and inpatient dermatology services at MetroHealth Medical Center, including the inpatient consultation services and the Clement Center for Family Health. Participation in the thrice-weekly didactic sessions is expected: journal club, basic science and clinical conferences, and citywide grand rounds. For students that have a particular interest in dermatopathology, additional experience in histopathology is available. Several subspecialty exposures can be arranged, either at MetroHealth or University Hospitals of Cleveland: Dermatologic and Mohs micrographic cancer surgery (Dr. Marlene Willen), laser surgery (Dr. Marlene Willen), and contact dermatitis patch testing (Dr. Susan Nedorost). Students on the UH/VAMC and on the MetroHealth electives attend the same didactic conferences and can exchange clinic sessions with each other as staffing permits. The student will be evaluated on the basis of his/her acquisition of basic dermatologic descriptive and diagnostic skills and his/her participation in other clinical and educational sessions each day.
OBJECTIVE:
To be able to describe, recognize, and treat the common dermatologic problems of adults and children.
DUTIES:
Students do not take night calls. Toward the end of the rotation, the students may evaluate and follow their own patients or do consultations if they desire.
