This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 9 credit hours. This clerkship is a 6-week clinical experience during which students participate in the breadth of family medicine. Students spend 2 weeks in the inpatient setting caring for medical and obstetrical patients and 4 weeks in an office-based practice, either community or residency-based. Students will experience a broad range of clinical presentations and participate in both inpatient and office-based procedures. Students placed with community preceptors might also experience home visits and nursing home care. Every clerk will work at least one weekend night shift on an inpatient team. Students are responsible for writing H+Ps, progress notes, and discharge summaries while on inpatient, as well as completing several other written assignments, readings, and logging diagnoses and procedures. Most community preceptors also allow student EMR access. This clerkship is one of several site options for the core clerkship in Family Medicine.
