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!
