This four-week clerkship has both didactic and clinical portions. The clinical portion of the clerkship is primarily based at family practice residency programs affiliated with UT Southwestern and the family practice residency program located at UT Tyler. Each of these sites is staffed by UT Southwestern faculty. Students see patients at the family-practice centers and in a variety of other practice sites, including private office settings, under the supervision of adjunct clinical faculty. Some clerks are also based at private practitioner offices in Arlington and Bedford that are designated clerkship sites.
Clerks prepare and present a patient to faculty at each site and participate in conferences.
