Internal Medicine Sub-Internship

Catalog description

The purpose of this two to four-week experience is to provide the student with exposure to commonly encountered cases in Internal Medicine Sub-Internship. To accomplish this, the rotation provides broad exposure to both chronic and acute problems, experience in appropriate consultation, outpatient diagnostic testing, patient education and other procedures. To achieve rotation objectives, the student is expected to apply the concepts of diagnosis and management for all phases of outpatient care. If relevant, develop a working knowledge of both inpatient and outpatient treatment modalities. Throughout the rotation, students will assume as much responsibility for patient care as is commensurate with their preparedness. This course may be repeated with different preceptors to obtain additional clinical exposure.
