This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 6 credit hours.

The student is expected to develop conceptual and manual skills for evaluation and care of internal medicine patients and become more familiar in dealing directly with hospital and other paramedical personnel with appreciation of the team approach to patient care. The student will participate in rounds at least four days per week with the attending physician assigned to the service and will consult daily with the resident house staff on each assigned patient.
