OCOM 8943 - Research Elective - Case-Based Study
This rotation provides students with the opportunity to develop or enhance their knowledge and skills to a level appropriate for a beginning researcher. To accomplish this, the rotation offers an opportunity for students to write a case report and submit it for publication. A case report is defined as an account of the signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of a patient that follows an unusual or noteworthy case presentation. A case report can consist of a single case study or a multiple case study (N < 11). In hospital and ambulatory settings (as appropriate), students may potentially encounter unique or rare illnesses/diseases or treatment and therapy. To achieve the rotation objectives, students are expected to apply the concepts of diagnosis and management to the patient, develop a working knowledge of both inpatient and outpatient treatment modalities, be familiar with human subjects protection and its implication on the collection of patient information, write the paper following the submission guidelines of a target journal, and submit the manuscript for publication as a means of contributing to evidence-based medicine. Throughout the rotation, students should have multiple opportunities to perform different aspects of scholarly work and to practice problem-solving skills. Students should enroll for the research rotation only after they have found an acceptable case to report; the rotation should not be used to locate a case to report upon.
