Transition To Clerkships

Transition to Residency Program

This elective will serve as an introduction to the field of clinical informatics at NYU Langone Health (NYULH). Medical students will be directly integrated with residents and will be given the same didactics and reading assignments. Aside from connecting with their peers offline and in real time over the course of the elective, all elective participants will be asked to join a “Introduction to Clinical Informatics Alumni Network”. This will provide a powerful platform for all alumni to connect and continue to explore their interest in informatics, with multiple opportunities for guidance, education and further participation.

The Service-Learning Elective encourages medical students to volunteer with a primary community service project over the course of three to six months. Throughout the elective, students will learn about community engagement and research models, consider their own position in varying communities, and reflect on their experiences and responsibilities.

NYU Langone Health is a national leader in telemedicine and we have had a significant expansion of our virtual health program in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemedicine will constitute a significant part of our students’ future practice. The goal of this elective is to provide education and training in the unique skill set and competencies required for telemedicine.

Human Genetics and Genomics

During the academic year, senior students provide peer teaching and feedback to junior learners in a variety of settings/forms: Seminar sessions Educator Readiness workshops, clinical reasoning sessions, etc. Bedside sessions – patient recruitment, bedside teaching of Hx and PE, clinical reasoning, verbal and written feedback on oral presentation and written documentation OSCE (de-identified) note assessment and feedback OSCE and simulation teaching support at NYSIM

This intensive two or four-week experience is designed to help students consolidate their understanding of key concepts in basic and clinical sciences, preparing them for future clinical applications.

This 4-week course is designed to teach students in healthcare-related fields the tenets of evidence-based whole food, plant-based nutrition for the prevention and management of common chronic diseases. Students will learn about the existing body of scientific evidence and understand nutrition’s role in promoting health and preventing disease. Each lecture class will come with a clinical case that will allow students to reflect on patients they may encounter during clinical practice. Students will also participate in hands-on cooking labs where they will learn to prepare delicious food in line with the nutrition topics of the course each week. Students will also shadow providers at the Lifestyle Medicine Program at the Bellevue Ambulatory Care Pavillion and observe how culinary medicine and counseling on food are put into practice. They will also appreciate how food insecurity impacts counseling and learn strategies on how one can start to address this.

The Departmental Longitudinal Clinical Elective provides students with the opportunity to gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of a specialty of interest through sustained clinical exposure and mentorship. Over the course of the final year of medical school, students will spend at least 35 hours (equivalent to 1-week elective credit) shadowing one or more faculty preceptors in their chosen field. Unlike traditional two-week introductory electives that provide an intensive but brief experience, this longitudinal format allows students to observe the specialty over time and in a variety of contexts, including greater exposure to outpatient practice, continuity of care, and the evolving dynamics of patient management.

Students will be paired with another senior student to facilitate M1 reflection groups running through semester 1. Students will facilitate discussions related to various wellness topics such as sleep, physical activity, eating healthily, social connection, and professional identity development Or Students will be paired with a faculty member to facilitate reflective discussions with small groups of clerkship students about their experiences during their clerkship rotations including challenges, growth, and professional identity development during clerkships, and they will explore the deeper meaning of becoming a practicing physician.

The Medical Spanish Longitudinal Elective (MSLE) provides medical students with the opportunity to participate in sustained language practice and language learning activities relating to providing care to Spanish-speaking patients over the course of medical school. All students participating in the elective will first complete the Medical Spanish Course which counts as a foundation for the elective. Throughout the remaining time in the elective, students will engage in activities from a provided menu of approved Spanish-language activities relating to medical practice. Students may propose additional medical language activities for approval. Over the course of the elective, students will learn about and reflect on their role in increasing provider-patient language concordance to improve patient care.

Healthcare Business and Quality 2-Week

The Longitudinal Research Elective provides students with the opportunity to gain elective credit for research completed in addition to their required Summer Research Fellowship (6-weeks) and Areas of Concentration Stage 3 Scholarly Project. Students will spend at least 35 hours (equivalent to 1-week elective credit) doing research in their chosen field.[GA2.1][RK2.2][PM2.3] Students may not claim more than 2 weeks (70 hours) of elective credit through Longitudinal Research Electives. Unlike traditional two-week introductory electives that provide an intensive but brief experience, this longitudinal format allows students to complete research over time and in a variety of contexts.

This is the third and most advanced installment of the biostatistics courses. The goal of this course is to provide students with knowledge and skills necessary for understanding indications and interpretation of statistical approaches used in comparative effectiveness research. A broad range of topics, more typically taught over several semesters, will be covered in a condensed format focusing on aspects of greatest relevance to clinician-researchers. In addition, students will have opportunities to apply statistical techniques using common software packages including SAS and Stata. This course extends understanding of epidemiologic concepts and methods by providing applied training in the conduct of secondary data analysis studies using either SAS or Stata. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health Wave IV (adulthood; 2008), students will identify a research question; define a causal model, specific aims, and hypotheses based on review of extant literature; gain experience in management and conditioning of the data; conduct stratified analyses to assess effect modification and confounding; implement the backwards elimination method of model building using logistic regression to obtain multivariable results; interpret results with respect to the strength and precision of estimates, selection and information bias and confounding, and generalizability.
