Primary Care

Catalog description

Students will have the opportunity to gain further exposure in an ambulatory care setting; primary medical care provided on an outpatient basis, including diagnosis, observation, treatment, and rehabilitation services. There are both initial presentations of patient problems and the opportunity for follow-up in these settings. Though a single rotation is short, students should observe development of longitudinal relationships between doctors and patients with an emphasis on patient centered care. Students will have the opportunity to be exposed to a broad patient demographic throughout multiple primary care clinics, and will focus on the diagnosis and management of common conditions likely to be seen by a general internist.
