ODS-8646 Patient Care 7 with Grand Rounds
This course includes two parts: Patient Care and Grand Rounds. The Patient Care course sequence includes Patient Care 5 through Patient Care 8 as part of the internship phase of the clinical training. The course sequence is designed to develop intern knowledge and skill to an expected level of clinical competency which gradually increases to include autonomus patient care under the supervision of a clinical preceptor. Interns will routinely perform supervised complete eye examinations throughout the sequence at TEI while co-managing with TEI clinical faculty. Students must successfully complete each Patient Care course to advance to the next course in the sequence. As the course series continues, students are expected to function with increasing autonomy in medical decision making for each patient they co-manage care for. Feedback will be provided via Meditrek rubrics after each patient case and at the end of each patient care course in order to help facilitate student learning and growth. The Grand Rounds sequence includes Grand Rounds 1 through Grand Rounds 5 as part of a series of clinically based presentation by students. The course combines elements of patient care, professional presentation skills, individual research, and evidence based practice. Students will present cases, in a specifically defined format, to their colleagues during class meeting times. Presentations begin focusing on the basic elements of patient care: case history, entrance testing, refractive testing, spectacle prescribing, health evaluation, and/or patient education with subsequent courses increasing focus towards more advanced ocular disease treatment and management. Students are expected to incorporate their highest degree of knowledge based on their level of experience and training on each case. All cases must be approved of the instructor prior to presentation and students will present 8 grand rounds presentations total throughout the course sequence starting from a 10 minute presentation and culmonating to a final 30 minute presentation. Students must pass the Grand Rounds course (P/F) in order to have their Patient Care (F/P-/P/P+/H) grade recorded for the combined course.
