PULM 709C Pulmonary Consult - OHSU

Credits: 4
Pulmonary Consult - OHSU: Students may participate full-time in the consultation service of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Division. This experience includes workup of patients for whom pulmonary consultations have been requested, consultation rounds, bronchoscopy sessions, Pulmonary clinic, attendance at three weekly pulmonary conferences, and reading in pulmonary and critical care medicine. The service (staff Pulmonologist, PCCM fellow and an IM resident most months) sees outpatients in the morning in our subspecialty urgent care clinic. Inpatient consultations are staffed in the afternoons. We perform bronchoscopies and thoracenteses most days as well. The service interprets all pulmonary function tests and supervises review of a high volume of abnormal thoracic imaging studies. Depending on the student’s interest, there may be opportunities to observe care in our multidisciplinary lung cancer and multidisciplinary ALS clinics. There are three Pulmonary conferences weekly, along with opportunities for directed reading in Pulmonary medicine.
