Rotation Curriculum & Teaching Library
A durable, organized home for the articles, guidelines, handouts, clinical tools, and teaching files used during rotations with Dr. Paruch. The goal is a portable curriculum that remains accessible independent of any hospital or employer computer system. The library is designed for medical students from A.T. Still University of Health Sciences and residents from SIU School of Medicine.

Start with the curriculum path below rather than trying to read everything. Resources can be uploaded to this WordPress site or linked to durable sources such as PubMed, DOI pages, professional guidelines, or cloud storage you control.
How to use it: Start Here contains orientation and expectations. Week 1 establishes the clinical foundation. The middle modules contain the material most useful at the point of care. Further Reading is intentionally optional.
