The medical student will round daily with the attending physician; all aspects of nephrology and hypertension will be discussed. Acid base electrolytes, water metabolism and other subjects of interest will be discussed daily by the attending. These would take the format of discussion on a one-to-one basis with preassigned topics. The student will be at the office where, under supervision, he/she will be able to examine urinary sediments. The bimonthly outpatient nephrology clinic averages six patients. Reprints on topics discussed will be distributed; adequate time will be provided for the student to prepare the topic. Attendance at daily Internal Medicine conferences is expected.
