MEDI G810 - Community Practice


Credits: 4

Students are assigned to a general medicine office, where they act as primary caregivers for their patients under the direct supervision of a faculty physician.  Students provide comprehensive care for patients in all stages of illness, including initial diagnosis of disease, chronic management of established medical problems, acute management of decompensated chronic disease, and follow0up after hospitalization.  Students evaluate 8-10 patients everyday, completing and recording the medical interview, physical examination, diagnostic assessment, and management plan.  Students present their patients and discuss their impressions in teaching conferences with the attending physician.  Conferences include informal discussions, lectures, and grand rounds.
