vitae should be given to all those who have been asked to write letters of recommendation, as well as a list of the people and addresses to which these letters should be sent. The appropriate form of this list should be worked out with each individual person who is writing recommendations for you. Inquire about the preferred format individually. Although some additional Orthopaedic electives can be taken during the fall of the fourth year, the fourth year is an ideal time to focus education in the medical fields for a unique experience during an Orthopaedic residency. James R. Ficke, M.D. Director Department of Orthopaedic Surgery UROLOGY Urology is a field which integrates both medical and surgical managements of urinary tract system and the male reproductive organs. Urology has been on the cutting-edge of surgical technology including microsurgery, lasers, and minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy and surgical robotics). Urology is one of the most competitive and highly sought-after specialties to enter for physicians. The best preparation for students who are considering a career in Urology is to obtain a strong background in surgery and internal medicine. This includes elective rotations in general surgery, a sub-internship on the Urology service, ICU rotation, and advanced clerkships in internal medicine. We also strongly recommend students to do a research project with our clinical or research faculty. This exposure allows the student an opportunity to complete a project, get exposure to the urology faculty who can then write a strong letter of recommendation and allow the student to assess their own enthusiasm for the field. A strong research project is an invaluable asset when interviewing for residency positions. 14 DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS Marisa Clifton, M.D. Residency Program Director Department of Urology 15 ANESTHESIOLOGY AND CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE ANESTHESIOLOGY AND CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE ME:570.699 ANESTHESIOLOGY RESEARCH Course Type: Basic Research Department/Division: Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine Course Director: Dr. Tina Tran and Dr. Jed Wolpaw Course Coordinator: Emily Jensen, ejense11@jhmi.edu Telephone Number: 410-955-7609 Faculty: Anesthesiology faculty Availability/Duration: All year by special arrangement Prerequisite(s): Clinical preceptorship in anesthesiology recommended but not required; identifying research mentors prior to the start of elective is highly recommended. Drop Period: 1 month Description: Many opportunities exist within the department for research in areas of basic science (molecular, genetic, cell biology, basic pathophysiology, biochemistry), clinical trials, biomedical engineering, information management, outcomes research and data mining, and health policy & safety initiatives. Specific research opportunities should be reviewed on the departmental website. The interested student should contact the faculty member supervising the research prior to registering for the elective. ADVANCED CLINICAL CLERKSHIP IN PEDIATRIC ANESTHESIOLOGY Course Type: Advanced Clinical Clerkship Department/Division: Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine Course Director: Dr. Samuel Vanderhoek Telephone Number: 410-955-7610 Faculty: Pediatric Anesthesiology staff Availability/Duration: 4 weeks Prerequisite(s): Pediatrics Core Clerkship and clinical preceptorship in anesthesiology Drop Period: 1 month Description: The clerkship in Pediatric Anesthesiology is designed for students interested in pediatrics, pediatric anesthesia, or pediatric surgery, and introduces them to the perioperative anesthetic management of the pediatric patient. Under close supervision by faculty, fellows and residents, students will learn and apply the principles of preoperative evaluation of children, intraoperative monitoring techniques, pharmacology of anesthetic and related drugs, and immediate postoperative management. In addition, students will be exposed to and participate in anesthetic procedures such as airway management and establishment of vascular access. As the clerkship progresses, students will have the opportunity to participate in cases of increasing complexity. Students will participate in the full range of residency didactics including morning lectures, college days, simulation sessions. Students are assigned to the operating rooms at the Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children’s Center and are notified by the OR schedulers of the actual daily assignment the night before. BASIC CLERKSHIP IN ANESTHESIOLOGY Course Type: Clinical Clerkship Department/Division: Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine Course Director: Dr. Tina Tran and Dr. Jed Wolpaw Course Coordinator: Emily Jensen, ejense11@jhmi.edu Faculty: Department of Anesthesiology faculty Availability/Duration: Available to Third and Fourth Year students (last quarter 2nd year); 4 weeks Prerequisite(s): None Drop Period: 2 months Description: Students will spend the basic elective working in the general operating rooms directly alongside Anesthesiology providers (attending and residents) applying physiological and pharmacological principles to intra- 16 ANESTHESIOLOGY AND CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE operative patient care. Cardiovascular and respiratory physiology will be central to this learning process. Students will learn basic airway skills including mask
