FPMD G700 - Family Medicine Clerkship
Credits: 7
This clerkship is designed to be a clinical experience in which the concepts taught in the first two years are applied in actual practice. During the rotation, students spend two weeks at the Center for Family Medicine, two weeks on the inpatient team at Greenville Memorial Hospital, and two weeks working with a community/rural preceptor within the Greenville Health System network. During the time spent in Greenville Memorial Hospital and on our hospital service, students are assigned with faculty and/or residents to care for patients under their supervision. They perform complete initial evaluations on new patients in addition to caring for those with established problems. An opportunity is provided to work with nurses and other paramedical personnel in the team setting. This portion of the clerkship also offers opportunities for the student to review his/her performance and to receive guidance in improving interviewing skills. All students spend two weeks of the clerkship in the offices of family physicians in private practices in suburban and rural settings. This gives the student an opportunity to experience health delivery from the standpoint of the community physician. The student will be assigned to a community practice in the Upstate or Greenville area. Students may request to rotate at approved clinical sites from other locations (some students pursue opportunities in their hometown) but it will be the student’s responsibility to arrange housing. The student may participate in both outpatient and in-hospital patient care in these community settings.
