Students spend six weeks in internal medicine.
This includes instruction in special procedures such as bone marrow aspiration, urinalysis and venipuncture, and courses in electrocardiography and nutrition. Part of the internal medicine clerkship is conducted in an outpatient setting. The goals in internal medicine are to help students refine clinical skills, use these skills in problem-solving, and participate in the initial care of patients who exhibit a variety of medical problems. The third-year course in obstetrics and gynecology provides practice and experience in both the hospital and outpatient settings. A six-week assignment on the General Surgical Services teaches the principles of recognizing and managing both common and serious surgical problems and fosters the development of skills in preoperative and postoperative care.
