596 Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine—M.D. Program MDE 9038—Culinary Medicine Elective This elective course provides students with an introduction to the field of culinary medicine. Culinary medicine is an evidence-based field in medicine that combines the theory and experience of cooking with the science of biochemistry, nutrition, diet, and clinical medicine. The goal of culinary medicine is to partner with patients in finding a way to access and eat high-quality, nutritious food, with the aim of healthy lifestyles and preventing and treating disease. The course will also assist the students in practicing these skills for lifelong learning. MDE 9052—Legal and Medical Interprofessionalism Elective The future of health care is interprofessional collaborative practice—so much so that that accrediting bodies for medical and many other health professions schools now require interprofessional education to be part of the curriculum. As reflected in numerous medical-legal partnerships based within law school clinics nationwide, lawyers have been recognized as essential parts of interprofessional teams in the quest for better health outcomes for many patients and populations. This course is designed to jointly educate law and medical students about the importance of interprofessional collaborative practice to improve patient care. MDE 9054 (A–I)—MedCast Elective The goal of this elective is to provide a creative outlet to explore topics in medical education through a podcast forum. Enrolled students will propose, develop, and record stories based on their medical school experiences, focusing on narratives to help future generations of medical students. Projects can be data driven or personal narratives, but must focus on a challenge or experience that permeates the medical school experience. MDE 9062—Upper Extremity Applied Anatomy Elective This course is designed for senior medical students who want to build their clinical area of interest and expertise in the area of orthopaedic surgery, rheumatology, sports medicine, primary care medicine, or plastic surgery. It will permit first-hand advanced dissection of basic and applied regional gross anatomy of the human body in the region of the upper extremity. It will provide the medical students with the opportunity to attain integrated knowledge of the anatomical science of common clinical conditions based on the following: a series of dissections of the hand, wrist, and forearm on a human cadaver; independent reading on both surgical and nonsurgical problems of the hand, wrist, and forearm; as well as discussion of these diagnoses with the faculty. The students will synthesize and analyze the anatomical structures and their relevance to specific surgical procedures for common clinical conditions. They will develop the ability to work independently and responsibly and interact with peers and faculty members. Students will achieve intern-level mastery of musculoskeletal anatomy.
