Course Description and Prerequisites
https://medicine.tamhsc.edu/elective/2015-16/imed/rr/index.html
This two to four week elective is designed to expose the student to a pulmonary consultative experience.
The student will rotate with Dr. deKeratry and his associates at St. David’s Georgetown Hospital and in
his private office at Central Texas Pulmonary. Thus the student will be exposed to patients with COPD,
dyspnea, interstitial lung disease, pleural effusions, thromboembolic disease, and lung nodules, masses,
and cancer. The student will be able to participate in bronchoscopies, thoracentesis, and pulmonary
function testing. The objectives of the rotation are: 1. to teach interpretation of pulmonary function testing
2. To teach interpretation of chest x- rays and CT scans 3. to be able to appropriately address and
understand the evaluation and management of dyspnea; airway diseases such as asthma, copd, and
bronchitis; pleural effusions; lung masses; thromboembolic diseases; and interstitial diseases
(pulmonary fibrosis). The student will also see some in-patient consultations in the surgical intensive
care units.

Mistreatment of Students
The College of Medicine is committed to providing a positive learning environment in which students can meet their
academic goals based on mutual respect in the teacher/learner relationship. Both parties must be sensitive to the needs
of others and differences in gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, age or disability. As outlined in the Student

and humiliation are unacceptable for effective learning and undermine self-esteem. Breaches involving student
mistreatment may result in a faculty or staff member being sanctioned or the loss of faculty and/or staff appointment.
These policies address student mistreatment involving College of Medicine employees, residents, affiliate staff, or
