Maximum Enrollment: 1 each block Grading Basis: Pass/Fail Primary Faculty Supervisor: TBD Contact person: Sandra Ingram, GME Coordinator, (321) 841-3715; Maximum Enrollment: 1 each block Pediatric hematology and oncology including bone marrow transplant. On this rotation the student will be exposed to a wide spectrum of pediatric hematology and oncology diseases. Patient care and consultation experience will be provided primarily in the pediatric hematology/oncology clinic, as well as through inpatient consults, and inpatient experience can be obtained if desired. The student will observe lumbar puncture and bone marrow examination procedures. Students will spend approximately one day with the hematopathologist examining normal and abnormal peripheral blood smears and bone marrow slides. Objectives: Learn low to diagnose and treat hematologic problems in children. Understand mechanisms of immune manipulation in pediatric BMT. See and understand common childhood malignancies. Electives Ophthalmology/Pediatrics Genetics and Dysmorphology Clerkship Director: Colleen Moran-Bano, M.D. MDE 8438 7 Full-time (4 weeks) First Day: Report to Nemours Children’s Hospital lobby (NCH) @ 8:30 am Grading Basis: Pass/Fail Primary Faculty Supervisor: Dr. Patricia Wheeler Contact person: Tiffany Oreste, (407) 567-3224; Maximum Enrollment: 1 each block Students will become familiar with the systematic approach to evaluating a patient with a known or suspected genetic, cytogenetic, metabolic or dysmorphic order. Objectives: Students will be able to perform a physical examination with emphasis on identifying and describing congenital anomalies and dysmorphic features. Students will be able to elicit and construct three generation pedigree (family tree). Students will become familiar with how genetic counselors and geneticists approach counseling for conditions with Mendelian inheritance patterns (autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked) and non-Mendelian inheritance patterns (mitochondrial, inheritance, multifactorial conditions and chromosomal abnormalities). Students will become familiar with on-line resources that are available for physicians caring for patients with genetic disorders.
