Students provide patient care for a patient population that is diverse and challenging in their health care needs under the direct supervision of family medicine residents and faculty. Various procedures are performed in the office including colposcopy, LEEP, OB ultrasound, minor surgery, “no-scapel” vasectomy, and others. Students may assist on procedures under direct faculty supervision. Students are also integrated into the UFP Inpatient Team, admitting and managing University of Tennessee Medical Center inpatients. Patient care activities with family physicians at the Community Free Clinic round out the learning experience. The student’s clinical interests are definitely integrated into the curriculum of their elective. Rotation sites in the local or adjacent rural area with a board certified family physician in our area will be considered for approval.

FME2 3010/F - Junior Internship in Family Medicine
Cr Hrs: 7
Session Length: 4 weeks
This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 7 credit hours. The student will function as a junior intern with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in all of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. Medical students at the M4 level may negotiate their learning activities with the course coordinator, as MANY options are available. Here is just one choice (traditional): University Family Practice (UFP), adjacent to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, is a 30 year old family medicine practice staffed by residents and faculty. Students provide patient care for a patient population that is diverse and challenging in their health care needs under the direct supervision of family medicine residents and faculty. Various procedures are performed in the office including colposcopy, LEEP, OB ultrasound, minor surgery, “no-scapel” vasectomy, and others. Students may assist on procedures under direct faculty supervision. Students are also integrated into the UFP Inpatient Team, admitting and managing University of Tennessee Medical Center inpatients. Patient care activities with family physicians at the Community Free Clinic round out the learning experience. The student’s clinical interests are definitely integrated into the curriculum of their elective. Rotation sites in the local or adjacent rural area with a board certified family physician in our area will be considered for approval.

IDE 45010 - Conflict Resolution & Communication Challenges in Health Care
Cr Hrs: 3
Session Length: 2 weeks
This face-to-face clinical rotation receives 3 credit hours, focusing on “Collaborate as a member of an Interprofessional team” as its Entrustable Professional . The course will feature some lecture, but mainly emphasizes learn-by-doing. Instruction will initially familiarize students with a “toolbox” of skills essential to conflict resolution and communication, then integrate those skills into a variety of simulation exercises based on real cases. Each simulation is followed by in-depth debriefing with extensive feedback. Three main modules are: disclosing adverse outcomes, errors and other bad news; negotiation; and mediation (serving as a neutral to help others resolve their conflict).

LSP 30120 - Longitudinal Scholars Project 1.2
Cr Hrs: 1 (1-0-1)
The Longitudinal Scholar’s Project (LSP) clerkship is a longitudinal clerkship spanning the four years of medical school. The course will introduce medical students to three basic areas: health research, patient safety and quality improvement (PSQI) and community and global health. The clerkship involves a longitudinal project in one of the three areas and culminates in a graded poster presentation. Rather than have every student participate in each category, the clerkship provides the students with a foundation of basic understanding in research, patient safety and quality improvement and community/global health, while requiring each student to do a project in one area to be presented at any time during medical school. The poster may be presented at a committee approved poster venue. Outstanding work will be eligible for awards.
