This curriculum is being developed through the efforts of many physicians in the Walter Reed Army Medical Center Medical Housestaff and Attending Staff. Taken from a list of common medical problems effecting the elderly or limited to either male or female patients. Some patients, though conscious that their condition is perilous, recover their health simply through their contentment with the goodness of the physician.
Preclinical Meetings are a priority .
The only reason to miss them is direct patient care. Morning report, conferences, preparation for talks, etc. should not take precedence, unless approved by the clinic leader. Promptness is an absolute necessity. The I-doc will decide on the particular topic of discussion, and can make any adjustments necessary as situations arise. One week in every four week block will be devoted to interesting clinic cases presented for general discussion or desired topics not covered within the curriculum.
