GMED 709J Acting Intern - OHSU CHS

Credits: 6
The sub-internship rotation with the Clinical Hospitalist Service (CHS) provides a supervised, but highly-independent experience that is designed to prepare students for any categorical or medicine preliminary intern year. The CHS manages a wide variety of patient populations including medicine and perioperative consultation, post-procedural care, solid tumor oncology, and core internal medicine. The group includes hospitalist faculty members who collectively provide direct daytime and nighttime supervision without any concurrent resident presence. During the elective, sub-interns will gain experience admitting ED and outside hospital admissions via a mix of shift types (daytime, swing, nighttime) in addition to rounding on a personal census of ~6 patients during daytime shifts. The rotation is 5-6 days per week, roughly 10-12 hrs. per day, and is flexible with regard to days off. Procedural experience (paracentesis, thoracentesis, lumbar puncture, etc.) is also included on the rotation as much as possible.
