Pediatric Congenital Cardiology
Ashley Dischinger
Description from DukeHub
In Pediatric Congenital Cardiology, medical students will observe and participate in the care of a unique patient population through a multidisciplinary approach. Students will have the unique opportunity of caring for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease from a clinical side, an interventional side, and a surgical side. In doing so, they will get a brief introduction into the importance of a team approach to complicated medical decisions and procedures in a field at the cutting edge of modern medicine. Please note that procedural experiences are all observational due to complexity (participation is generally a fellow level experience). Please contact Dr. Ashley Dischinger by email at (contact listed in DukeHub) at least one week prior to the rotation start date to confirm the meeting location and time, as location and arrival time may vary daily. Secondary contact is Amanda Picart CPNP, (contact listed in DukeHub) or Dana Smith, (contact listed in DukeHub). Credit: 2. Enrollment: max 1, min 1. Ashley Dischinger, MD; Amanda Picart, NP
