Clinical Internal Medicine II

Catalog description

This Internal Medicine rotation is most often completed in a setting that includes both hospital acute care medicine and ambulatory care medicine experiences. All experiences, regardless of setting have the goal of the most common medical conditions not seen or covered in the Internal Medicine I rotation; therefore, the IM II rotation varies by regional site. To avoid redundancy, reading topics are removed where they are also covered in Internal Medicine I or Family Medicine. In this setting, students learn to diagnosis and manage the most common acute and chronic medical conditions that are present in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. This rotation may be general medicine or specialty based as long as it includes an adequate number of general medicine case exposures. Students must also learn to discriminate emergent conditions from non-emergent ones. Students should begin to acquire the essential knowledge to practice cost effective health care and standards of care. •
