VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become increasingly utilized in multiple medical specialties, with emergency medicine at the forefront. This rotation is designed to introduce point-of-care ultrasound to the clinical medical student and provide more in-depth and hands-on familiarity with bedside US for a variety of modalities. These skills will better equip students to use these techniques at the bedside of any patient in the emergency room or on the floors with greater facility and confidence. It will enhance patient diagnosis and management, procedural guidance, and patient satisfaction. It may even save a life! Primary emphasis will be on developing competent technical skills to enhance image acquisition and interpretation. The applications as defined by the American College of Emergency Physicians will be the main focus. A goal for a minimum number of ultrasound scans will be 25 per application including, eFA

There is protected time to attend the EMED weekly grand rounds and resident conferences as well as didactic sessions provided by PEM faculty. This elective will expose the student to a wealth of clinical scenarios, supplemented with didactics and ultrasound teaching, that will address the most common chief complaints. Traditionally PEM physicians manage pathology from every pediatric subspeciality, and the experience of the student will range from management of the patient with acute illness to day to day chief complaints that bring the patient to the ED provider. Clerkship students will see patients on their own, with senior resident, PEM fellow, and attending guidance. PREREQUISITES: None. PERIODS AVAILABLE: P4-12, full-time for 4 weeks. 1 students per period.

Students will be introduced to and gain longitudinal training in Precision Emergency Medicine and procedural skills. Clinical Duties: Students will work 14, 8-hour clinical shifts during the rotation. Rotators will have the opportunity to play an integral role on the care team, learning to take full responsibility in ensuring their patients receive high quality emergency care. Students will lead the initial assessment of each patient, performing directed history and physical exams, developing a focused differential diagnosis, and then designing and implementing a targeted care plan with input and support from the attending physician. Students will also learn essential communication skills, acting as the primary contact between the care team, patients, patient's families, consultants and hospital staff. Precision Educational Curriculum: Throughout the rotation, students will have access to a number of supporting educational events outside of the emergency department. Students will attend weekly core curriculum conferences with the Stanford Emergency Medicine residents, as well as a monthly journal club. Rotators will also have dedicated, learner-centered educational sessions focused on bedside ultrasound, laceration repair, and other procedures. Rotators will also engage in a series of interactive, faculty-led case discussions including an end-of-rotation Health Equity Rounds. A student-only simulation experience held at Stanford's innovative Center for Immersive and Simulation Based Learning early in the rotation will help faculty and students develop specific learning plans. The rotation culminates in a final written exam and social event. Pre-approval is required only for visiting students. Please contact clerkship coordinator Kristen Kayser (kkayser@stanford.edu) to inquire about pre-approval process and materials needed for submission. PREREQUISITES: Completed all core clerkships in internal medicine, family medicine, surgery, OB/GYN, psychiatry, neurology, and pediatrics. Stanford medical students must complete
EMED 301A. Exceptions only at the discretion of the clerkship director on a case by case basis. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-4 and 12, full-time for 4 weeks, 10 students per period.

ENGLISH 102: Pathogens and Populations: Representing Infectious Disease
Infectious diseases are too small to see and too large to fathom. Biologically, microscopic invaders, viruses even smaller than our cells, can travel across the planet and infect billions of humans. Socially, individual contacts have the potential to devastate families, fracture communities, and decimate whole civilizations. How can we comprehend, let alone make meaningful decisions about, complex multi-scale systems of people and pathogens?The main way we try to understand infectious diseases is putting them into other forms that straddle these scales, in short, representing them. To address the resulting representational problems, this course explores a range of scientific and cultural representations of disease. We will ask: What are the underlying assumptions and limits made in our attempts to describe a pathogen spreading through a population? How can board games, mathematical models, and oral histories show the randomness behind catastrophic outbreaks? Or, how might a network model illustrate the way HIV spreads among characters in a novel? How does the epidemiological case study rely on the same principles as tabloid stories about "superspreaders" like Typhoid Mary?The goal of the course is to understand and critique the ways infectious disease is represented, and especially to understand what and who is excluded in different modes of representation. This course is appropriate for students interested in public health, medicine, life writing, science writing, history of science, and media studies. In addition to scientific papers, course material will include plays, poems, board games, comics, novels, oral narratives, and newspaper articles.
