Colorado State University/Cardiology
Description
The visiting student will work with me and my cardiology residents on the clinical cardiology service. This service includes seeing outpatients (new and returning), caring for hospitalized patients, and participating in cardiac catheterization procedures on client owned animals with cardiovascular disorders.
Students will be responsible for doing history, physical examination, identifying problems, and coming up with a diagnostic and therapeutic plan for their patient. They will discuss all of this with the cardiologist/resident and then work with the clinician to perform the diagnostics needed. the student will also participate in case rounds, topic rounds, and will help complete the medical records and discharge instructions.
