Surgical Critical Care Advanced Clinical Rotation (ACR)

4 units

The 4400 Surgical ICU provides an exciting and challenging opportunity to care for some of the sickest patients in the hospital and offers incredible teaching and education about a variety of medical topics and conditions. The ACR SICU rotation integrates medical students into one of the two SICU teams, and each medical student, in conjunction with a resident or Advanced Practice Provider, will care for 3-5 patients on the service. Working with the resident, medical students will develop a problem list, as well as an organized plan for their patients. They will then need to follow up on the execution of all determined labs/interventions/consults, closely communicating with the rest of the ICU team throughout the shift, as well as presence for sign-outs each morning/evening at shift change. This rotation takes place at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital 4400 ICU Surgical and Burn/Trauma Intensive Care Unit. This ICU takes care of patients from a variety of backgrounds, including general surgery, trauma/acute care surgery, transplant surgery, vascular surgery, urology, as well as medical ICU overflow patients.
