Students will perform well child and adolescent care and well as adult preventative medicine. Students participate in initial diagnosis of disease, chronic management of established medical problems, acute management of decompensated chronic disease, and followup after hospitalization. Students evaluate patients every day, completing and recording the medical interview, physical examination, diagnostic assessment, and management plan. Students present their patients and discuss their impressions with the attending physician.
