Results for ORTHO

Preference to sophomores. Sports medicine is the practice of clinical medicine at the interface between health and performance, competition and well-being. While sports medicine had its origins in providing care to athletes, medical advances developed in care of athletes exerted a great effect on the nature and quality of care to the broader community. Topics include sports injuries, medical conditions associated with sport and exercise, ethics, coaching, women's issues, fitness and health, and sports science. Case studies.

Students undertake investigations sponsored by individual faculty members. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.

Student initiated course. Opportunity to enhance knowledge and skills for conducting musculoskeletal exams. Sessions led by Stanford Orthopaedic Surgery attendings and residents. Didactic introductions followed by hands-on practice of specific aspects of the musculoskeletal exam.

Lifestyle medicine is a specialty that utilizes lifestyle changes to treat chronic disease and is fundamental for a transformed, value-based, and equitable healthcare system that culminates in holistic care. Healthy lifestyle choices and sustainable behavior modifications can improve physical and mental health outcomes to improve the overall quality of life for all, including those already diagnosed with chronic illnesses or at higher risk for disease. The Practical Applications of Lifestyle Medicine lunch seminar elective will build upon Introduction to Lifestyle Medicine (Ortho 120/220) by integrating clinically relevant modalities and interactive activities with curriculum from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. The goal of the class is to equip students with skills to evaluate new information to optimize health and apply it in their practice, counsel patients with chronic diseases or conditions linked to behavior like smoking or obesity, and empower students to take care of their own health. Students who are enrolled for 1-unit are required to attend all sessions and participate in case-based activities. Students who are enrolled in 2-units are required to attend all sessions, participate in case-based activities, and write a short paper to be featured in the Stanford Lifestyle Medicine newsletter.

An interactive weekly seminar focused on increasing radiology fluency and early exposure to orthopedic medical decision making. The format will be largely case-based learning with didactic components interspersed as necessary for foundational material. Topics covered include radiology interpretation, orthopedic anatomy and physiology, and the basics of fracture management. While the focus of this class is to build fundamental knowledge in orthopedics, students will be exposed to a variety of subspecialties within the field including pediatrics, trauma, sports medicine, and musculoskeletal tumor.

Biological principles underlying the use of engineering strategies and biocompatible materials for tissue repair and regeneration.

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: The Rehabilitation Center at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC) is a national leader in the advancement of rehabilitation and a core training site for the Stanford Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency (PM&R) program. The Rehabilitation Center at SCVMC is accredited by the Commission of the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and we have treated individuals with brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and other disabling neurological conditions since 1971. Our clerkship emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to the patient severely disabled by acute spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke, major trauma, and other neurologic disabilities. Concentration is on clinical evaluation, prevention of complications and participation in long-term planning for maximum independence and improving the quality of life for the patient.The student functions integrally as a member of the treatment team and participates in all aspects of patient care, including acute admissions of spinal cord-injured patients, multidisciplinary evaluations of new admissions, patient care rounds, teaching and team conferences, therapy sessions, formal case presentations, neuroscience grand rounds, journal club and didactic lectures. The team approach, using multiple medical and therapeutic modalities, is key to our patients' success. Students will observe and participate in routinely performed procedures that aide in optimizing function including peripheral joint injections, chemodenervation, peripheral nerve blocks and intrathecal baclofen pump management for spasticity. Additionally, they may participate in electrodiagnostic studies that aide in diagnosis of peripheral nervous system pathology. Students may also have the opportunity to study the lifestyles of outpatients when they return to the community, investigate community resources and assess the ongoing medical issues of individuals with disabilities in PM&R outpatient clinics. Clerkships are available in spinal cord injury, brain injury, inpatient consults, and outpatient PM&R clinics and must be scheduled in advance by calling the clerkship coordinator listed below before registering.
