Cr Hrs: 6
Session Length: 4 weeks

PD

This is a face-to-face clinical rotation. This clinical rotation is for M4 students who have completed at least 6 of their 7 core clinical clerkships. The student will function as a junior intern with increased autonomy in patient care. This rotation will expose students to the full spectrum of Family Medicine in this department. The course is a combination of inpatient and outpatient Family Medicine. In our outpatient office, 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. Students are also integrated into the UFP Inpatient Team, admitting and managing University of Tennessee Medical Center inpatients for our cohort of affiliated community providers. Rotation sites in the local or adjacent rural area with a board certified Family Physician in our area may be considered for approval. The student’s clinical interests can be integrated into the curriculum of their Junior Internship and should be requested up to 30 days prior to starting the rotation.

Junior Internships provide an intensive experience in patient care and an opportunity to demonstrate competency in the clinical skills, knowledge, and attitudes expected for graduation. In keeping with the focus on direct patient care, objectives and assessment are structured around the 13 Entrustable Professional Activities developed by AAMC. Additionally, students are expected to incorporate professionalism and an attitude of life-long learning into their clinical responsibilities.
