During the first eight months of the third year students rotate through all core clerkships. Each clerkship is 4-weeks in duration. The final 15 weeks consist of students selecting from a comprehensive list of selectives that are offered from all departments and specialties within the school of medicine. During the 4-week surgery core clerkship each student is randomly assigned one faculty preceptor from one of ten surgical specialties. Each preceptor determines the students daily schedules which includes clinic, surgery, and attending educational conferences. Students are allowed to work up

Core Internal Medicine Clerkship Internal Medicine encompasses a broad spectrum of knowledge that is foundational for any subsequent specialty that a student chooses to pursue. Exceptional patient care requires not only medical knowledge, but the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams, an understanding of the social determinants of health, the importance of safe transitions of care, and operating within the healthcare system. Most importantly, it requires the delivery of compassionate patient care. The Internal Medicine Clerkship allows students to explore and learn about all of these

GOAL: The goal of the four-week Family and Community Medicine (FCM) clerkship is to introduce students to the Patient-Centered Medical Home through the breadth and scope of family medicine, including the psychosocial and procedural aspects, particularly as they apply to ambulatory care. The clerkship uses structured learning experiences in the actual task environment of practicing family physicians. It emphasizes integration of comprehensive ambulatory care with community health and resources. OBJECTIVES: By the end of the FCM clerkship students will have been exposed to, gained experience in

Learn basic psychopathology, psychopharmacology and other therapeutic interventions. All students will be expected to understand the following: ADHD Anxiety Disorders Dementia Developmentally Disabled Mood Disorders Personality Disorders/Traits Psychotic Disorders Sexual Dysfunction Sleep Disturbances Substance Use Disorders Suicidal Ideations The students will demonstrate proficiency in clinically-relevant empathetic interviews with the mental status examination. Formulate H&Ps which should include diagnostic assessments with a comprehensive treatment plan. There is an opportunity to observe

Surgery Core Clerkship Goals Provide a clinically immersive experience with a designated faculty preceptor who will through direct observation and targeted feedback assist students to develop their clinical skills i.e. history and physical exam skills, differential diagnoses development, diagnostic justification, and development of diagnostic and therapeutic management plans. Provide the opportunity for development of communication and interpersonal skills i.e. oral presentation skills, patients, families, caregivers and healthcare teams, and documentation skills. Objectives To become familiar

To learn the principles and skills underlying the recognition and management of neurologic diseases that a general practitioner is most likely to encounter in practice, with special emphasis on the neurologic emergencies. Objectives: Demonstrate competence in presenting and documenting a neurologic history and physical examination. Demonstrate competence in conducting a complete neurological examination. Recognize neurological symptoms and localize lesions. Demonstrate and apply knowledge of neurosciences to the understanding of the mechanisms of neurological disease and their treatment

Goals for Year 3 Medical Humanities students. Goal: We aim to create dialogue and stimulate reflection that aids in nurturing compassionate healers Our mission is to help doctors-in-training gain deeper insights into their own assumptions, beliefs and perspectives so they can hone their empathetic as well as medical expertise, thus creating more effective patient/physician relationships. To do this, we draw from the wisdom and data of humanities fields such as philosophy, religion, anthropology, sociology and the arts. This knowledge is then incorporated into a comprehensive curriculum that
