The Family Medicine Clerkship is a required six-week third year rotation. There are eight rotations throughout the year serving approximately 130 students. Eva Bading, M.D., is the Director of Undergraduate Education, Scott A. Levin, M.D. , is the Clerkship Director, Kit Lee, M.D., is the Assistant Clerkship Director, assisted by Elizabeth Ryan, Education Coordinator, and Diane Burkhart, Ph.D., Administrative Director . Dr. Levin, a physician from the West Suburban Family Practice Center, and a part-time Loyola faculty member has been with the program since August 1996. The program was founded in July 1995 by Fern Hauck, M.D., the current Director of Research.
Additional support is derived from numerous other staff and faculty.
In addition, during the 1998-1999 academic year the clerkship introduced the Family Medicine Web Forum. The Web Forum provides an online arena for case-based group discussion. Several cases will be covered each rotation, with only the students on rotation having access. This provides an added learning opportunity, with students gaining knowledge from one another, along with a faculty facilitator.
