Students will acquire in-patient management skills by functioning as a member of the Family Medicine Teaching Service. On this service, students will perform histories and physicals, develop diagnostic and treatment plans and conduct rounds on assigned patients. The out-patient experience will be acquired in the Family Care Center in the students' scheduled office hours. Here the students will experience the diversity of patients and medical problems frequently encountered in ambulatory medicine. Students are invited to participate in all educational sessions including noon conferences, grand rounds, and office rounds.
Opportunities are also available for participation in deliveries and home visits.
The student will obtain frequent feedback from faculty and residents throughout the course of the rotation in order to enhance the educational experience. In addition, the standard MCW evaluation form will be completed at the end of the rotation.
