Assignment:
Prompt: You are medical student applying for a competitive internship in cardiovascular treatment and surgery, but you must submit a petition for the branch you wish to intern with. Your petition must include a detailed description of the cardiovascular disease that is your primary area of interest, your knowledge of current research, and ideas for new treatment methods and/or future research.
Based on these symptoms, choose one disease to specialize in:
- Endocarditis
- Ectopia cordis
- Tetralogy of Fallot
Through this two-part discussion with your classmates, you will state your choice, explain the normal anatomy of the system the disease impacts the most, explain how the disease disrupts this system, and your ideas for future research, treatment options, etc.
You will then respond to your classmates' posts to create an interactive conversation involving debating the diseases, comparing evidence, adding detail, asking questions, brainstorming treatment ideas, etc.
Please remember that all of these diseases have merit so keep discussions friendly, or at least civil!
