Elective Description: The student will see infectious disease
consultations at the Berkshire Medical Center and will be
responsible for initial evaluation, presentation to the attending and literature
research related to that patient. Time will be given to the patient on a one-to-one
basis to discuss general problems and concepts in infectious disease. Rational
antibiotic use will be stressed. The student will spend some time in the clinical
laboratory to gain an appreciation of microbiologic procedures and techniques. Occasionally
the patients will be presented in conference by the student along with a review
of the literature related to that patient's infectious disease problem.
