Medical Student Clerkship
General Information
Fourth year medical students from across the country are invited to join us at Rush University Medical Center (RUMC) for a clinical rotation to learn more about our program. Each medical student will rotate on one of our orthopaedic subspecialty services. As part of the rotation, students will attend all conferences and spend time in both our operating rooms and clinics. Students will also assist our second year residents on call at both RUMC and John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, a level 1 trauma center.
Goals and Objectives
By the end of rotation, the student will be able to:
- Take a complete orthopaedic history
- Perform a thorough orthopaedic physical examination
- Interpret and describe basic orthopaedic radiographic findings
- Concisely present patient findings during rounds, clinic and/or intake conference
- Assist in basic bedside, emergency room, and operating room procedures
