Student-Run Clinic Elective

Catalog description

This is a longitudinal elective that will take place over the course of the academic year. Upon successful completion of course criteria, students will receive credit for a two-week elective. Students enrolling in this elective will be given credit for their participation in Tulane’s student-run clinics. T3s/T4s are a valuable part of the clinics: they help guide the T1s/T2s through what is often their very first experience with patients; they provide instruction and assistance with obtaining a medical history, formulating an assessment and plan, documentation and presentation; and they help provide quality care to persons with limited access to healthcare. Tulane’s student-run clinics appeal to incoming students, and help develop our students into effective and open-minded physicians. This elective is intended to improve junior and senior students’ clinical teaching skills, and to increase student involvement in the student-run clinics.
