PMR - 792 Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Virtual Away Elective

This two-four week online PM&R course is designed to allow non-RUSH fourth-year students interested in auditioning in PM&R at RUSH to explore the field in addition to interacting with faculty & residents. The course is centered around 1 week learning modules on a single diagnosis (i.e. Stroke) where the students are given a clinical case they will use as a backdrop for their learning. Each day, the students will be required to submit 1-2 paragraph responses to questions, complete a group discussion (students only), group discussion with a resident and receive a didactic lecture from an attending physician. In addition, the course will incorporate concepts of disability, have mock oral boards cases and have a virtual get-together with residents from the program. At the end of the course, the students have to present a 20 minute presentation on a topic of their choice. They will be evaluated based upon the quality of their presentation, daily submissions and quality of interaction/participation in group discussions. Offered: fall, spring and summer. Retake Counts for Credit: No. Pass/No Pass Grading Allowed: No. Credit(s): 1-2
