Family Medicine Core Clerkship

Catalog description

The Family Medicine core clerkship is an eight (8) week experience served in an ambulatory setting. The entire clerkship may be served with one practice and provider or two different practices for four weeks each. This will be determined by the hub site in which the experience is served. Students will have the opportunity to participate in the care of patients presenting with acute or chronic conditions commonly seen in a primary care practice. Experience will be gained in diagnosis and case management. Each practice may have a unique profile of patients that will offer greater insight into disease identification and management as well as cultural influences on wellness and disease prevention.
