Welcome to the Internal Medicine Clerkship!
The next ten weeks will
be challenging, interesting, and enjoyable for you. Internal medicine
is a broad field that encompasses primary care, subspecialty care
and consultation, and many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
As we internists and subspecialists care for our patients, we depend
on broad understanding of basic and clinical science; critical thinking
and problem-solving; and exceptional professionalism and interpersonal
skill in working with the health care team. During your clerkship,
we encourage you to learn systematically about internal medicine and
in depth about each patient. Take responsibility for your patients-you
will learn internal medicine best through active patient care. In
return for your efforts, we expect your educational experience to
be top-notch, and we demand that our faculty, residents, and staff
are supportive and helpful to you. If they aren't, the Department
Chair wants to know!! Again,
welcome to Internal Medicine-we look forward to working with you.
Please note that specific medical questions can not be answered via this website.
