Results for MED 290: Independent Study with the Program in Bedside Medicine

Students work with their faculty mentor on projects and studies that are broadly centered around the following questions: How do we teach and emphasize to students, residents, physicians (and beyond) in the medical field the need to master bedside skills? How does bedside medicine effect patient care? How has patient care changed with the omnipresence of technology in our lives? How is bedside medicine going to change in the next few decades, centuries? In investigating these questions, students utilize scientific articles and data, engage patients, and collaborate with BedMed faculty and staff. Independent study projects culminate in a presentation to the BedMed team, with the potential for posters or manuscripts. Students paired with faculty based on their area of interest and faculty/project needs. As the Program in Bedside Medicine emphasizes the human connection with patients, students are encouraged to engage patients within our program for teaching sessions, research studies, among other projects. Most of the faculty students with whom students will work are a part of the Stanford Medicine 25 Initiative: http:/stanfordmedicine25.stanford.edu/about/. Students are encouraged to develop relevant projects with the initiative as a foundation. Enrollment varies with and is limited to faculty need. Repeatable for credit; more than one quarter of commitment expected.
