MEDI G700 - Internal Medicine Clerkship
Credits: 7
During the seven-week inpatient/outpatient block, patients admitted to the hospital are assigned to the students for history taking and physical examination. Students then participate in diagnostic and therapeutic decisions concerning their patients and follow them throughout their hospital stay. They are responsible for daily notes and orders under the supervision of the residents and the attending physician on the service.
In addition to daily rounds with the ward team, there is a program of noon-time conferences and grand rounds presentations that the students are expected to attend. They also meet with the clerkship directors, faculty, and residents on a regular basis for educational conferences. Formal didactic sessions will be held.
The rotation is designed to help develop the student’s clinical skills and to direct his or her approach to patient care towards a problem-oriented frame. Also, through active participation, the student should observe the diagnostic process as it unfolds and develop his/her own method of evaluating clinical problems.
