John T. Milliken Department of Medicine
Instruction in medicine is provided during all four years of the medical curriculum, beginning with Practice of Medicine I (Medicine 507) during the first year. Teaching during the second year has two main objectives: (1) the correlation of the basic sciences with clinical aspects of disease; and (2) training in the technical methods of physical examination and laboratory diagnosis. By the beginning of the third year, the student is ready for the supervised clinical study of individual patients. A clinical clerkship of 12 weeks, divided into three four-week periods, is served by third-year students on the medical services of the department. During the final year, students may select a sub-internship in general medicine and a series of elective courses in the medical specialties.

Our focus is on the genetic pathways of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and colorectal cancer development. We have two major areas of research interest. Our laboratory is interested, first, in the molecular mechanisms of hepatic steatosis and the pathogenesis of NAFLD. This is the most prevalent liver disease in the United States, likely affecting a quarter of the population. We have generated genetically manipulated mouse strains that offer insights into the mechanisms of hepatic steatosis. The student would work as part of a team, designing and conducting experiments that will test hypotheses concerning the mechanisms and consequences of hepatic steatosis. These studies will primarily involve mouse genetics, examining the expression of candidate genes under a variety of nutritional and pharmacologic settings that modulate hepatic lipid metabolism. In addition, we are using microarrays to study the spectrum of genetic changes that may predict the extent of hepatic lipid accumulation in patients with steatohepatitis. Our goal is to test hypotheses using mouse genetics and to extend these studies to examine the same pathways in humans with NAFLD. Our second area of interest concerns the genetic pathways involved in colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. We have developed a novel strain of mice in which the dominant effects of mutations in the APC tumor suppressor gene have been abrogated through deletion of an RNA binding protein, apobec-1. This deletion has a major effect on the expression of cox-2, abrogating the increase in expression seen in human colonic adenomas and wild-type mouse intestinal adenomas. These findings suggest that apobec-1 is a genetic modifier of colon cancer development. We will study the importance of apobec-1 expression in human colon cancer specimens and continue our murine genetic studies of this novel pathway for modulating colon cancer development and progression.

Our primary interest is on occupational medicine epidemiology and intervention research. Our research involves the use of epidemiology methods to characterize associations between diseases and work-related exposures. We are also doing workplace intervention studies to prevent injuries and illnesses and to improve healthy diet and physical activity among working populations. During an elective in occupational medicine epidemiology research, students will learn how to use epidemiologic methods to investigate disease processes by working on a mutually agreed-on topic of interest related to occupational diseases. Other activities can include worksite visits and intervention projects as well as involvement with worksite health promotion and policy making. Elective length is variable, depending on individual circumstances. Please contact Dr. Evanoff to discuss this research.

Emergency medicine clinical research is the primary focus of this lab. This type of research involves the gamut of research designs, from retrospective cohort studies ("The Use of B Hydroxy Butyrate Point-of-Care Testing in Diabetic Ketoacidosis") to prospective clinical trials ("Biomarkers in Traumatic Brain Injury") to the evaluation of health care systems and emergency department processes ("Effects of a Triage Process Conversion on the Triage of High Risk Presentations") to the analysis of health policy issues ("Rate of Follow-up to a Primary Care Clinic and Subsequent Emergency Department Utilization among an Urban ED Population"). Students will learn the basic clinical research designs and will be able to articulate the benefits and drawbacks of each. They will be involved in hypothesis generation and study design for projects that are at that stage. For ongoing projects, they will learn about the informed consent process and be involved in screening for study subjects and subject selection and enrollment. They will be allowed to consent for studies judged to be of minimal risk. Students will be taught important rules regarding data acquisition and entry, particularly as these relate to standards that have been set forth in the medical literature. They will learn about bias and inter-rater reliability. Students will participate in data entry, data analysis, and subsequent abstract/manuscript preparation based on their level of interest and time commitment. Students will meet weekly with one of the course directors to discuss study progress and to identify any roadblocks to study completion. These meetings will also serve as a forum for one-on-one education of the student regarding study methodology, ethical issues in research, and various resources available to the clinical researcher at Washington University.

Students will be members of a collaborative research team headed by Drs. Levin and Rubin (Department of Medicine) investigating the mechanisms underlying the intestinal adaptive response that occurs to compensate for the loss of functional small intestine. A second project focuses on epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and their role in regulating gut epithelial proliferation carcinogenesis and the normal and cancer stem cell niche. Specific mechanisms under investigation include the function of an immediate early gene Tis7 on gut adaptation after resection or injury. The role of myofibroblast protein epimorphin in regulating cell proliferation and colon carcinogenesis is being explored. The student will have the opportunity to learn basic molecular biology and physiology as they relate to small intestinal growth and function. Examples of techniques that are used in these studies include small animal surgery and colitis and cancer models (mice and rats), molecular biological techniques including PCR, Northern blotting, vector construction for the production of transgenic and knockout mouse models, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry.

We investigate the differentiation of epithelial stem cells in the upper gastrointestinal tract. We study how genes regulate differentiation in mouse models and in vitro in tissue culture, and we correlate our findings with human tissue specimens. Specific projects include the following: (1) understanding how inflammation leads to aberrant differentiation (metaplasia), which is a precursor for cancer; (2) elucidating how master regulatory transcription factors like Xbp1 and Mist1 coordinate the massive cytoskeletal and organellar expansion of specialized secretory cells as they differentiate from stem cells; and (3) understanding the mechanisms that regulate how differentiated cells can be reprogrammed into stem cells in gastrointestinal organs like the stomach and the pancreas.

The focus of this lab is on gene therapy for lysosomal storage diseases such as mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). We have developed a retroviral vector that can be efficiently delivered to the liver of mice and dogs and that results in expression sufficient to reduce many of the clinical manifestations of these genetic diseases. Current studies focus on assessing the therapeutic effect of gene therapy on sites that are affected in MPS (e.g., heart, aorta, bones, joints) and on developing vectors that might be translated into human patients. In addition, we are evaluating the pathogenesis of disease in MPS, which appears to involve the upregulation of destructive proteases in the aorta and possibly other sites. A better understanding of the pathogenesis of disease might result in additional therapies for MPS.

This lab's main focus is on the clinical significance of heart rate variability and ECG-derived waveform parameters obtained from continuous ambulatory monitoring. This elective affords the student the opportunity to perform research in heart rate variability or in other measurements, like QT variability or T-wave alternans that can be derived from continuous ECG monitoring from Holter recordings or polysomnography recordings in the sleep lab. One area of active research is the identification of heart rate patterns associated with obstructive and central sleep apneas and hypopneas and the relationship of previously unappreciated cycling heart rate patterns and outcomes. Data are also available from mice. Many possible projects are available using our many large existing datasets, using the thousands of stored studies in the sleep lab, or using de novo data collection in a clinical or animal population and in infants. Also, many possible directions for this research are available, from applying traditional and nonlinear HRV to different populations to developing methods to quantify ultradian heart rate variability patterns to developing novel ECG analysis techniques, among others. Also, we are involved with the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a large population-based longitudinal study of risk factors for heart disease and stroke among community-dwelling people more than 65 years old. There is a subset of this population who had Holter recordings (~1400 at baseline, ~800 of the same people five years later, and ~370 minority subjects recorded at the same time as the second CHS recording). These recordings have already been analyzed by us, so there is a large amount of heart rate variability and heart rate pattern data available. There are also subsets of patients from the CHS and from another study (EPHESUS) who are known to have died suddenly, and we have developed a matched control group in order to examine ECG-based differences in those who died suddenly. We also have electronic sleep studies at two time points for about 300 of the CHS Holter participants who also participated in the Sleep Heart Health Study. We have analyzed an additional ~1500 sleep studies from CHS participants who did not have Holter recordings. Thus, there is also an opportunity in the CHS dataset for studies of the relationship of heart rate variability with changes in heart rate variability over time and with a huge number of clinical and demographic factors among the elderly. We also have data on the relationship of Holter-based HRV and sleep apnea patterns to the development of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery as well as data from a study of the treatment of depression in treatment-resistant depressed post-MI patients, a study of sickle cell patients, and a study of heart rate variability and echo parameters in elderly African Americans. Currently, we are also analyzing HRV in premature infants as they mature and HRV as a predictor of response to treatment in babies in the NICU and PICU, using stored 24-hour bedside ECGs.
Heart rate variability and clinical outcomes: The student will be learning about HRV methods and will investigate the relationship of HRV and outcomes in one of our datasets. Because we have clinical and demographic data for about 20,000 subjects for whom continuous ECGs from Holter recordings, sleep studies, and ICU studies are available, as well as some mouse data, the student will be able to choose a project that may lead to a publishable result in an area of interest. The HRV Lab has enough computers and software to accommodate the needs of any interested students.

Asthma care in the inner city: Students will participate in ongoing studies of the delivery of asthma care to inner-city children and adults. The emphasis will be on direct contact between the asthmatic patients and the student, along with an asthma counselor.
Biology of pollen and fungal allergens: Our laboratory has been characterizing the important allergenic proteins from molds and pollen. The allergens are identified using skin-test–sensitive individuals, and the proteins are isolated and characterized by a combination of physiochemical and molecular biological techniques. These studies should lead to better forms of allergy immunotherapy. Students will participate in the isolation, characterization and modification of major allergens from a number of molds, including Stachybotrys atra and Epicoccum nigrum, and from several pollens, including those from white oak and Parthenium hysterophoros, a newly recognized allergen.
Primary Care Summer Preceptorships
Since 1996, the School of Medicine has sponsored a primary care preceptorship program for medical students during the summer between their first and second years of classes. Students select a preceptor in internal medicine, pediatrics or family practice and spend up to eight weeks observing that physician's clinical practice. A stipend is provided to the student. Although many of the preceptors are in St. Louis, others — particularly alumni — are located in cities throughout the country.
Courses include the following:

M25 Medicine 507 Practice of Medicine I
POM I is a large course which spans all 3 blocks of the first year. It is composed of three content areas: 1. Clinical Skills 2. Patient, Physician, and Society 3. Clinical Knowledge Each of these three content areas has two or more sections, each run by a faculty section leader. POM I employs a variety of teaching techniques, instructors and venues. This includes lecture, small group discussions, panel sessions, one-on-one hospital interviews, standardized patient sessions, a patient home visit, and visits to both a primary care office and a city clinic. What are the educational goals of POM I? Students will learn to: 1. Perform a complete history and physical examination with thoroughness, accuracy, sensitivity and compassion. 2. Communicate effectively, efficiently and compassionately with patients, families and other health professionals. 3. Describe and analyze the statistical methodology of clinical studies and apply the results to individuals and groups of patients. 4. Identify and investigate ethical, cultural, socioeconomic and political factors relevant to medical interactions. 5. Examine and analyze personal and professional competencies, limitations and behaviors. How do we accomplish these goals? 1. Learning skills and techniques requires a cycle of steps: preparation, background reading, attempts at skill performance, analysis and reflection on performance, discussion of potential improvements and successive performance of the skill with advancement to a new level of expertise. 2. The focus is on learning skills. You practice each skill, such as interviewing, in a variety of venues and situations of varying complexity. This course is for learning about how to do things that you will use for taking care of patients and families. 3. You work in multiple learning environments. a. Academic environments: Small group sessions for discussion, small group practice sessions, peer learning, small group presentations, individual and group writing assignments, and reflections on experiences are the preferred learning locations. b. Clinical environments: Inpatient units with faculty and WUSM IV mentors, standardized patient experiences with videotape review, physicians' offices, patients' homes with and without home care professionals, and a city clinic.

M25 Medicine 884 Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapies
This elective is designed to introduce students to the general inpatient, intensive care, and outpatient management of patients with multiple hematologic malignancies including leukemia, lymphoma, marrow failure states and myeloma. These patients will be treated with chemotherapy, targeted therapies and cellular immunotherapies including chimeric receptor T cells (CART), natural killer cells, bispecific antibody treatments and stem cell transplant (both autologous and allogeneic). As the primary team, the BMT service is responsible for diagnosing and treating all medical problems including many critical care issues that may occur in these patients. These complex patients are often severely immunocompromised, coagulopathic, and at high-risk of multi-organ complications from both their disease and their therapy. Students work closely with residents, fellows, and faculty to develop treatment plans for patients. Students participate in daily rounds discussing general inpatient and intensive care BMT patients and attend outpatient clinic 1 day/wk to see how BMT physicians approach patients faced with difficult decisions to make regarding their care. In addition to multiple weekly conferences, students also attend daily teaching rounds led by faculty to learn the basic science of hematopoiesis, the genomics of leukema, stem cell biology, gene therapy and cell therapy, transplantation immunology, graft vs host disease and infectious diseases seen in these immunocompromised patients. The average medical student will contribute to the care of inpatients (30-40 patients/day) and will be directly involved in the assessment and care of selected outpatients as well.

M25 Medicine 897 Complex Primary Care (ComPACT)
ComPACT is an intensive primary care clinic. We work with veterans with multiple medical comorbidities and multiple hospitalizations. Frequently, they also have many social barriers to health care. Our goals are to reduce admissions and improve overall health and wellness. Students will be responsible for performing histories and physicals in the outpatient setting. In addition, when appropriate, students will round on hospitalized ComPACT patients with Drs. Rumora and McCarthy. Patient interactions will be face-to-face and electronic (phone, video). Students will gain experience with balancing the demands of competing medical issues. Many of our vets have heart failure, diabetes, kidney disease, COPD, and other conditions. Students will also gain experience in identifying and working to mitigate social barriers to health. We have weekly staff "huddles" that we encourage students to attend. We also have a journal club approximately monthly. If this occurs during the student's time with us, we may ask them to present an appropriate paper.

M27 EMED 714 Ambulatory Clerkship: Emergency Medicine
The Urgent Care area (UCA) serves as our site for the WUSM III Ambulatory Care Rotation. Three students at a time are assigned to this two-week rotation. Students will spend their first day in an orientation session learning suturing, ECG interpretation, and airway management (including intubation skills) in hands-on laboratories. They will also review pelvic examinations and view an education video about domestic violence. On day two, they begin primarily evaluating non-emergent patients in Urgent Care and report directly to an Emergency Medicine attending. There are four hours of conferences per week (8-10 a.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings), and attendance is mandatory. Discussions are currently underway to allow students to participate in helicopter ride-alongs with ARCH Airmedical Services. Students can expect to gain a wide range of skills in evaluating uncomplicated upper respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases, lacerations, eye problems, rashes, simple extremity trauma -- in general, the "bread and butter" medical/surgical problems. Students do a 15-minute case presentation at the close of the block.
Credit 77 units.

M27 EMED 801 Emergency Medicine Subinternship
This rotation offers practical experience in the evaluation and management of acutely sick and injured patients. Students will function as subinterns, initially evaluating their assigned patients, and developing a plan for further diagnostic studies and therapy. They will report to a senior level resident or an attending physician. The student can expect the opportunity to perform or assist with a wide variety of procedural skills such as suturing, splinting, peripheral and central venous access, ultrasound, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Shifts will be eight hours and students will rotate between day, evening, and night shifts (including weekend shifts) to gain maximum exposure to all types of emergencies. The majority of shifts will occur at Barnes-Jewish Hospital; however, additional shifts may be scheduled at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital, a community hospital approximately 14 miles away. If the student does not have transportation, other arrangements can be made. Students will also be expected to attend weekly grand rounds and student lectures covering aspects of the core content of Emergency Medicine as well as attend a departmental journal club and student simulation session. Students will gain an understanding of other disciplines closely associated with Emergency Medicine by doing rotations with either social work, nursing, physical therapy, or respiratory therapy. Students will also gain knowledge of the triage system during their time in the department. If schedules allow, students interested in EM will be doing 1:1 shifts with a single attending during their last two weeks of the rotation as well as having a teaching shift with the education resident and fellow. Students desiring a Standard Letter of Evaluation (SLOE) should take this WUMS-IV Emergency Medicine Subinternship. Students will be scheduled for required weekend and overnight shifts and changes will not be allowed to the schedule unless approved prior to the start of the rotation by the course coordinator. Please be advised that there is a limit of days off while on this rotation during interview season; otherwise, students should arrange to take the elective at a different time during the year. Days off during the rest of the year will conform to university policy. Days off should be requested from the Course Coordinator at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the rotation for scheduling purposes.

M27 EMED 810 Medical Toxicology
This rotation offers practical experience in the evaluation and management of the acutely ill, poisoned, or intoxicated patient. Students will function as subinterns and either report to the senior resident, fellow, or directly to the toxicology attending. Students will gain familiarity and experience evaluating and treating patients who have intentionally and unintentionally overdosed on medications or illicit drugs or have substance use disorders, been envenomated (such as by spiders, snakes, or other reptiles), or been exposed to toxic substances or chemicals. Students will also gain experience in administering antidotes and learning to properly decontaminate someone after an ingestion or exposure. There are no overnight or weekend shifts. While not required, students are welcome to come in off hours to see new consults and enhance their experience and learning. Daily activities start in the morning and are generally concluded by the early afternoon. A core content of lectures will be provided. The students will also be assigned small projects during their rotation that will enhance their experience particularly in environmental and occupational toxicology. Students will also be asked to complete SAMHSA approved training which will allow them to apply for DEA buprenorphine waivers upon obtaining their permanent medical license. Opportunities to increase their experience with occupational toxicology and addiction medicine also exist during this rotation; students will be able to rotate in the outpatient toxicology and addiction medicine clinic. Students will also have the opportunity to go to the Missouri Poison Center. Students desiring a letter of recommendation from one of the toxicology attendings (who are also Emergency Medicine attendings) or interested in Emergency Medicine or Medical Toxicology should take this elective. Also, students considering other specialties such as Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Neurology, or Internal Medicine should consider this rotation as they will be responsible for evaluating these patients as part of their inpatient or outpatient practice. Please be advised that there is a limit of days off while on this rotation during interview season; otherwise, students should arrange to take the elective at a different time during the year. Days off should be requested from the Course Coordinator at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the rotation for scheduling purposes.

M27 EMED 820 Emergency Ultrasound
Point-of-care ultrasound has became an integral diagnostic and procedural tool for nearly every clinical specialty. Ultrasound examination at the bedside is noninvasive, painless, and repeatable, unlike many other common diagnostic tests. However, like all procedures, developing ultrasound skills takes a significant amount of practice and experience. This rotation will focus on clinical ultrasound image acquisition and interpretation at the bedside. Students will participate in the performance of bedside ultrasound of patients in the Emergency Department. Common applications of emergency ultrasound include the FAST exam, pelvic ultrasound, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), vascular access, renal, ocular, cardiac ultrasound, and DVT. Students will be involved in direct patient care during this rotation as part of the ultrasound team in the Emergency Department. In general, the student will be in the Emergency Department during weekdays to perform these exams. In addition, the student will meet with the elective instructor approximately once per week to review images or for direct hands-on instruction. At the end of the rotation, the student should be able to obtain images for basic point-of-care ultrasound examinations and to interpret those images for diagnostic purposes. Students may also have opportunity to practice ultrasound-guided procedures during the rotation.
