Subinternship - Medicine

Catalog description

The Internal Medicine Sub-Internship is a 4-week rotation at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine. The clinical experience will be in the general medicine inpatient floors whereby the Sub-Intern student will function as part of the house staff team and manage assigned patient cases under the supervision of Internal Medicine residents and faculty physicians. The overall goal of the Sub-Internship in Internal Medicine is to develop competence in the fundamentals of Internal Medicine, and to expand the student's proficiency and fuller independence in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of a variety of diseases and disorders of the adult patient. Sub-Intern medical students will be directly involved in patient care activities and responsibilities including: pre-rounding, hospitalisteaching rounds and presenting of patients, daily progress (SOAP) note writing, medical order writing, consultation request, and hospital admissions (H and P), with greater emphasis on independently gathering information, clinical assessments and management plans.
