Elective I

Catalog description

Under the guidance of a qualified preceptor, this course will allow the student to provide care for patients in a clinical setting tailored to the student’s particular interest. Approved supervised clinical experiences may be completed in any medical or surgical specialty. The student has discretion in selecting his/her elective and may design his/her own elective rotation or choose from multiple disciplines after consultation with their faculty advisor and the Clinical Director. All elective rotations must subsequently be approved by the Clinical or Program Director. This course will ensure that students are exposed to common disorders and procedures that are encountered in that particular discipline. The experience may take place in the outpatient clinic, inpatient hospital setting and/or other approved settings. The rotation will provide opportunities for the student to learn about specific disease processes in the elected field of medicine.
