The suggested format for the electives might be to start with a broad overview of the topic and then
follow with student led, preceptor facilitated, journal presentations focused on relevant sub-disciplines:
Cardiology, anesthesology, surgery, pediatrics, geriatrics, obg, orthopediacs, rheumatology, et al and based on relevance and student interest. These same themes can be expanded in advanced certificates, residency, fellowships, nursing, PA programs, CME and so forth. It must be kept in mind that these modalities ARE here NOW and a very popular. Of course they represent a dual edged sword and can be quite dangerous in the untrained while conversely being quite effective when being used by experts.
