Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine—M.D. Program 605 medicine is to partner with patients in finding a way to access and eat high-quality, nutritious food, with the aim of healthy lifestyles and preventing and treating disease. The course will also assist the students in practicing these skills for lifelong learning. MDE 9052—Legal and Medical Interprofessionalism Elective The future of health care is interprofessional collaborative practice—so much so that that accrediting bodies for medical and many other health professions schools now require interprofessional education to be part of the curriculum. As reflected in numerous medical-legal partnerships based within law school clinics nationwide, lawyers have been recognized as essential parts of interprofessional teams in the quest for better health outcomes for many patients and populations. This course is designed to jointly educate law and medical students about the importance of interprofessional collaborative practice to improve patient care. MDE 9054 (A–I)—MedCast Elective The goal of this elective is to provide a creative outlet to explore topics in medical education through a podcast forum. Enrolled students will propose, develop, and record stories based on their medical school experiences, focusing on narratives to help future generations of medical students. Projects can be data driven or personal narratives, but must focus on a challenge or experience that permeates the medical school experience. MDE 9062—Upper Extremity Applied Anatomy Elective This course is designed for senior medical students who want to build their clinical area of interest and expertise in the area of orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, sports medicine, primary care medicine, or plastic surgery. It will permit first-hand advanced dissection of basic and applied regional gross anatomy of the human body in the region of the upper extremity. It will provide students with the opportunity to attain integrated knowledge of the anatomical science of common clinical conditions based on the following: a series of dissections of the hand, wrist, and forearm on a human cadaver; independent reading on both surgical and nonsurgical problems of the hand, wrist, and forearm; and discussion of these diagnoses with faculty members. Students will synthesize and analyze the anatomical structures and their relevance to specific surgical procedures for common clinical conditions. They will develop the ability to work independently and responsibly and interact with peers and faculty members. Students will achieve intern-level mastery of musculoskeletal anatomy. MDR 9001 (A–D)—Research Elective The Research Elective is an elective to allow students to continue or expand alternative research projects. Students must complete the Research course prior to enrolling in the elective. The Research Elective is arranged, planned, and managed by a supervising faculty member and the individual student. Students will initiate or participate in a research project under the direct supervision of a researcher at an accredited institution. Each student must submit a plan, agreed to by the supervising faculty member, to the course director, who must approve it prior to the start of the course. The research project must be relevant to helping the student achieve NSU MD competencies related to scholarly inquiry (SI). Other competencies assessed will include interpersonal skills and communication (ISC) and Ethics and Professionalism (EP). Examples of acceptable research topics include basic, translational, medical education, or clinical studies. Students are expected to develop and submit a plan of action for submission of a research paper. This includes identification of a journal and why this journal is ideal for the project. Students will also submit a draft of a research paper that includes the abstract, introduction, analysis of data (if any), conclusions, future directions, and citations. The format should be specific to the journal identified by the student.
