Family Medicine

Catalog description

The family medicine clerkship is a six-week required course for third-year medical students. Clerkship students are paired with a community family medicine physician "preceptor.” Preceptors are board-eligible family medicine physicians who volunteer their time to mentor Tulane medical students during the clerkship. Students work one-on-one with their preceptor to learn the essentials of family medicine through direct patient care. Course may be repeated up to unlimited credit hours.
