GMED 710PT Inpatient Procedure Team

Credits: 2
Procedures are part of the practice of internal medicine, ranging from low risk, such as placement of peripheral IVs to higher risk, such as thoracentesis and paracentesis. The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) has published guidelines for procedural competencies for internal medicine residents, which include cognitive (e.g. understanding the indications of procedures) and technical (i.e. the act of performing procedures) components. This procedural rotation was designed to offer medical students formal training, resources, and an increased opportunity to acquire skills and observe/perform procedures with formally trained faculty supervisors.
