This elective introduces students to the concepts and practice of community and population-based health care. Population-based care is becoming increasingly important in addressing the health needs of this nation. This elective helps students understand how Duke serves communities through collaborative, innovative, interdisciplinary clinical services, educational programs, and applied research. By allowing students to participate in actual programs, role modeling and experiential learning are used to supplement and apply what is learned in the required text-based materials of the course. Because the specific course activities depend upon the student's particular interests and the community health activities ongoing at the time of the elective, each student's experience will be individually designed. To participate in this course, students must contact Dr, Tran prior to the start of the course via email at Anh.Tran@duke.edu. At that time, Dr. Tran and the student, along with appropriate community programming faculty and staff, will plan the specific activities that will be undertaken by that student, and the requirements for the student's successful completion of the course. Students may contact the Coordinator of Medical Student programs at 681-3066 for more information. Details on initial class meeting location and time will be sent prior to first day. Credit: 4; Enrollment max: 1. Anh Tran

This elective is designed to introduce students to the concepts and practice of primary care sports medicine. Over recent years there has been increased focus on physical fitness. More people are engaging in regular physical activity and the average life expectancy has increased. This increase in activity has also resulted in an increased number of musculoskeletal injuries. In order to provide good care to these patients physicians need to be well versed in treatment of musculoskeletal problems as well as the common medical problems that physically active people face. During this month-long elective, students will become familiar with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries as well as treatment of primary care issues such as HTN, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, asthma, and mononucleosis. During this rotation students see patients in the Sports Medicine and Family Medicine clinics. Students also participate in the care of college and high school athletes. To participate in this rotation students must contact the Medical Student Program Coordinator, 681-3066, at least 6 weeks prior to the course. Credit: 4. Enrollment Max: 1 per month. Jeff Bytomski, MD; and Blake Boggess, MD
