The Carlos Otis Stratton Mountain Clinic prides itself on being a valued teaching facility, supporting the regional medical community with high-quality, fun and profoundly beneficial student opportunities.
Students work full-time for one month at Carlos Otis Stratton Mountain Clinic in Vermont with the opportunity to participate in the hands-on care of acute trauma, fractures, sprains, lacerations and other medical and orthopaedic emergencies in a busy emergent and primary care setting.
A rotating roster of top emergency and orthopedic physicians allows for great exposure and contact for students’ benefit. Opportunities also exist to participate in preparation for transfer of acutely ill and injured patients to level one or level two institutions by helicopter or ambulance. In addition, students may participate in delivering acute and primary care to a rural community.
Direct patient contact is the major learning modality for this elective, including history taking, examination and diagnostic/therapeutic planning. Patient presentations, appropriate procedures, and patient follow-up are expected of the students.
