Understanding the principles of diagnosis and management of the most common cardiovascular diseases is essential training for the general internist. The clerkship will include CVICU bedside rounds and case discussion, ECG reading sessions, stress test observation and reading sessions, observation of catheterization lab procedures, and reading and searching the pertinent literature.
