At the Family
Medicine Center, the student will be responsible for the care of a
select panel of patients and 'will be supervised by the clinic
preceptor. The student will have the opportunity to function
independently as an intern while remaining under the direct
supervision of faculty member. Development of clinical acumen and
confidence are stressed through hands-on, one on one, patient
interactions. Our practice is diverse and includes newborn and
pediatric care, obstetrical and gynecological services, general
internal medicine, and geriatrics. Procedures performed at the
clinic include removal of skin lesions, flexible sigmoidoscopy, OB
ultrasound, exercise stress testing, circumcision, casting and
splinting, colonoscopy, and advanced dermatologic surgery.
Physicians with additional training In psychiatry, pediatrics,
geriatrics and obstetrics are available to support the student.
Experiences on the
inpatient service allow the student to primarily care for and manage
a set of patients in the hospital under the supervision of faculty
members and upper level residents. Continuity is a vital part of
this experience which provides opportunities for the student to
evaluate the undifferentiated patient, develop a differential
diagnosis and treatment plan, and care for the patient through
discharge and follow-up. Daily participation in morning report,
didactic sessions, reading assignments, and case presentations also
enrich the experience. On-call responsibilities include the care or
patients in labor and delivery, postpartum, and in the newborn
nursery. The obstetrics service is very busy and includes the care
of high-risk patients and those needing operative deliveries.
