PD
This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 6 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. Students experience traditional office-based practice under the supervision of a community-based family physician preceptors along with faculty and residents in the outpatient UT Family Medicine Jackson Center. Students will also rotate on inpatient services with faculty and residents to include medicine and ICU patients, obstetrical and newborns as well as pediatric patients. With the office practice as a base, the family physician serves all aspects of patient care involving both inpatient and outpatient settings, ranging from the hospital to the nursing home. Students are placed with family physicians who practice the full breadth of the discipline, including obstetrical care, whenever feasible. The clerkship is a full-time learning experience, typically mirroring the family physician preceptor and including both weekend responsibilities and night calls. Students attend a variety of lectures and workshops and give an Evidence Based Medicine Presentation at the end of the block. Students may be assigned additional readings, written reports and presentations by their preceptors.
