An alternative model for the psychiatric clerkship.

Clinical clerkships in psychiatry are traditionally based on in-patient services and thus limit student exposure in the main to seriously ill psychiatric patients. Such clerkships have been criticized as having questionable relevance to the primary care careers which are increasingly selected by medical students. The present paper describes a clerkship in which half the students are taught on a traditional in-patient service while half go to a special medical-psychiatric unit. In the latter situation, medical and psychiatric patients are housed together and consultation-liaison experiences play a prominent part in the students' experience. Some comparative data are presented which suggest that the two clerkship experiences are equally satisfactory to the students. It is concluded that a psychiatric clerkship utilizing settings and experiences which are close in character to primary care is educationally feasible.

Atrial septal defect (sinus venosus type) in a dog.

A 2-year-old Old English Sheepdog had right-side congestive heart failure characterized by pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, ascites, and increased pulmonary wedge pressure. A diagnosis of atrial septal defect was made by means of cardiac catheterization and angiography. Surgical correction initially was deferred because of pulmonary hypertension. However, when congestive heart failure could not be managed adequately, surgical correction was attempted. Postsurgically, thrombocytopenia developed and that led to bleeding, oliguira, and pulmonary edema. The bleeding was controlled by whole blood transfusion, but the oliguria and pulmonary edema were not resolved, even with intensive diuretic therapy. The dog died 24 hours after surgery.
