RADIOL 404C
Vascular and Interventional Radiology
Alex Solomon
Description from DukeHub
All physicians will encounter patients who will undergo interventional procedures. This 2 week 4th year elective in Interventional Radiology is designed to educate medical students not planning on going into a career in radiology about the most common procedures performed by IR. The students will be involved in: (1) pre-procedural patient care: focused patient assessment (in the inpatient consult setting), review of imaging, and informed consent process; (2) intra-procedural care: devices, terminology, and technique; and (3) post-procedural patient care: focused patient assessment (in the inpatient setting) and patient follow-up planning. By the end of the rotation, the student should be capable of determining whether a procedure is needed routinely, urgently, or emergently; will be able to select the most indicated procedure based on patient presentation (develop a management plan); and will be knowledgeable about pre- and post-procedure patient care. This two-week, two-credit course is not available to visiting medical students. For more information about the course or if you have registered for the course, please contact Helen Wu and Danielle Corrigan-Webster. Students that took Radiol 222C during the second year are not eligible to take RADIOL 404C. Credits: 2. Enrollment max: 1. Alex J. Solomon, MD.
