The Jack and Lucy Clark Department of Pediatrics The Jack and Lucy Clark Department of Pediatrics offers a balanced program for training and patient care with equally deep strengths in primary and subspecialty care. The Practice is closely supervised by full-time attending faculty in order to deliver outstanding health care for the entire family. This unique group practice setting facilitates the development of the continuity of care of both adults and children throughout the resident's entire four or five years of training.
Residents have the opportunity to learn to run a model practice.
Other educational forums include Ambulatory Morning Report, Home Visitation, and Evidence-Based Medicine Seminars. The residents care for these patients over their entire four years of training. During the first year of residency training, the residents have block rotation time for intensification of the continuity care experience in their practice plus an introduction to Community Medicine. Additional block rotation time has been set aside in the second through fourth years of residency training to emphasize the continuity care experience and to provide protected time for course and field work in Community Medicine. In addition to the standard curriculum, strong emphasis will be placed on developing the tools of the primary care physician of the future.
