NEW ELECTIVES

COMMUNITY GENERAL SURGERY COMPETENCY-BASED ELECTIVE

Dr. DeHann, Elective Director

The goal of this rotation is to provide medical students with one-on-one experience with a general surgery attend-

ing at a community hospital. Students will have the opportunity to work with the attending in the outpatient clinic,

operating rooms and emergency department. This rotation is meant to provide experience with a busy community

general surgical practice.

Students will work 5 days per week, with dedicated outpatient, hospital, and operating room time. Most weekends

will be off, but students will likely participate in one 24-hour weekend call.

INSTITUTE FOR TRANSFORMATIVE INTERPROFESSIONSL EDUCATION ELECTIVE (I-TIE)

Drs. Fran Vlasses and Aaron Michelfelder, Elective Directors

This course provides opportunities to students with backgrounds in a variety of clinical disciplines to engage in in-

terprofessional team projects in healthcare settings and health and human service organizations to develop inter-

professional competencies and project management skills. Emphasis will be placed on the student’s clinical en-

gagement in the collaborative management of team projects requiring critical assessment, planning, intervention,

and evaluation activities using theoretical models and management tools. All projects will address the improved

care of patients and populations. Corresponding ethical, legal and/or social issues relevant to specific patient/

organization problems and needs will be addressed. The student will be expected to evaluate and use evidence-

based/research findings as a basis for the development of their team projects.

Using project management concepts and methods, students will have the opportunity to acquire and apply the nec-

essary skills to develop and lead interprofessional team projects from concept to completion. There will be at least

three class meetings per semester, and most of this elective will be accomplished by the individual teams collabo-

rating through face-to-face, virtual, asynchronous, and other mutually agreed upon methods of working together.

Each graduating class has the opportunity to identify two faculty

who have impacted their entire class by their teaching skills in the

classroom and clinic, advice, humanism and support. They are

recognized as their role models and mentors. This year their deci-

sion was clear.

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Dauzvardis, Outstanding Basic Sci-

ence Professor and Dr. Kevin Simpson, Outstanding Clinical Pro-fessor.

GREAT NEWS……………………...

U.S. MEDICAL STUDENT TAKES POSTER PRIZE AT OXFORD

A longstanding interest in the mental health of homeless people led one medical student to a research project in India whose re-sults garnered her the Lancet Psychiatry Poster Prize at the Uni-versity of Oxford’s 2014 Mental Health Conference.

Anita Rao is a third-year student at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. Her father, Murali Rao, M.D., is chair of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at the Loyola Univer-sity Medical Center.

While at Georgetown University as an undergraduate student, she volunteered at a shelter in Washington, D.C., for homeless men with mental illness. This experience led her to spend a semester

on a Running Start/Walmart Star Fellowship. This program places young women who are college students or recent graduates in the offices of women members of Congress. Rao spent her fellowship working with Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), but turned down a position as a legislative correspondent on Bass’s staff so she could begin medical school.

Her experience at the Washington homeless shelter ultimately led to her poster topic, a study of homeless mentally ill women in India that was also the basis of her senior thesis at Georgetown. In India, she worked for five months at the Manasa Transit Care Center, a psychiatric rehabilitation facility outside the city of Mysore.

Rao was pleased to be awarded the Lancet prize but is now concentrating on her medi-cal school studies. She looks forward to entering a residency program in psychiatry and neurology after graduation.

STRITCH 2015-2016 GLOBAL HEALTH FIELDWORK FELLOWSHIP The Global Health Scholars Program is a 5-year program for students who plan a career in global health and wish to pur-sue rigorous independent scholarship in this interdisciplinary field The Scholars program includes and builds upon the components of the Honors program, with an additional one year field experience in a low-resource setting, or the Global Health Fieldwork Fellowship. The additional scholarly and expe-riential requirements will culminate with the student graduating with an MD with Honors in Community and Global Health and the Global Health Scholar distinction.

Brian Borah and Mitch Day were selected from several ap-plicants for the fellowship for this year which will take place in Palacios, Bolivia at the Centro Medico Humberto Parra. We believe Brian and Mitch will not only make outstanding fellows, but serve as excellent representatives of our school.
