AM7821 Preparation for Clinical Internship
Clinical Observation occurs in the University of Washington Medical School's Anesthesia Pain Service at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Students go through the onboarding process of ORCA and infection control training, then attend the formal table rounds, which are preview discussions with the Anesthesia Pain Service team regarding approximately 12 to 25 patients each session. The students, the DAOM supervisor and the biomedical providers decide which patients are baseline candidates for acupuncture. After this, the DAOM students observe integrated acupuncture workflow during Bastyr's regular DAOM Pain Management rotation (see internship).
Prerequisite
Admission into the DAOM program and fulfillment of Harborview Medical Center clinical requirements
