The Medicine Selective Clerkship will provide students with an advanced clinical rotation designed to for an immersive and specialized experience in the field of internal medicine and/or neurology. This selective clerkship offers an opportunity for students to explore specific areas of interest within internal medicine while refining their clinical skills, diagnostic acumen, and professional competencies.
It is critical to note that the clinical clerkship experience is not intended to teach the student everything about Internal Medicine nor provide the student with clinical experience in every aspect of the discipline. The Clerkship Director and the assigned Preceptor may provide educational guidance, but it is each student’s individual responsibility to learn the subject content. Lifelong self-learning is the goal and is expected in this clinical clerkship. Students must show that adequate direct patient care experience has been achieved by demonstrating adequate patient log support of an average of at least 4 outpatients or 2 inpatients per day.
