Medical Selective 1

Catalog description

(PCSP only) This is the first of two medical selectives for PCSP students. The goal of this selective rotation is to enhance and improve students' knowledge and skills in a medical subspecialty area and to stand as the third internal medicine rotation for PCSP. The subject matter is chosen and approved by the clinical director of the pathway before a decision is made. Due to the fact the PCSP students have only 2 IM rotations and 2 selectives dedicated to IM, these selectives must be chosen wisely in order to adequately prepare them for post graduate education and high stakes examinations. Topics for the two medical selectives are determined after an analysis of the experiences within previous rotations. This selective rotation is four weeks in duration. It is imperative that students be goal directed in their choice of selectives, so they will receive the maximum benefit from their experiences.
