The clerkship is divided into two blocks: Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine. This is a four-week clerkship that will challenge medical students to manage patients undergoing surgical procedures as well as those being cared for in the Intensive Care Unit. The Critical Care two-week block in Gainesville will ask students to treat critically ill patients and implement the necessary interventions for stabilization and management. Students are expected to critically examine the perioperative process as well as learn the fundamental procedures that are coupled to it. Those procedures include, but are not limited to, airway management, invasive hemodynamic monitors, Intravenous fluid replacement and the use of vasoactive medications. The education begins with modules that each student must complete prior to the corresponding didactic session. The formal didactics tests critical thinking skills that will be exercised by simulation and problem-based learning discussions.

4th Year Elective Rotations
Elective in Clinical Anesthesia – Jacksonville (ANS E 1J)
Students will be involved in perioperative care while on the Anesthesiology service. They will serve as acting interns (externs) under the supervision of residents and attending physicians from the Department of Anesthesiology. Objectives of the externship are to learn to perform a thorough preoperative evaluation, formulate options for intra-operative care, perform basic procedures such as airway management techniques and obtain vascular access, and implement a therapeutic regimen for post-operative care.
Day-to-day scheduling is flexible including possible rotation through several subspecialties or focus on a single subspecialty (i.e., cardiothoracic, pediatrics, obstetrics, orthopedics, regional, etc.). Students will be paired with Anesthesia Residents and/or Attendings.
