OMED 7690 Hospital Medicine Core Clerkship
This 6-week experience is designed to provide experiential learning in hospital medicine. This experience is structured to promote education, professional growth and meaningful responsibility. Students are an integral part of the healthcare team and are involved in the decision-making process of the patient care and give responsibility commensurate with their ability. Students are supervised and taught by faculty attending physicians. At some sites, students may also work with interns and residents. Learning in this rotation occurs during sign-in, morning report, bedside teaching and management rounds, didactic lectures, bedside clinical rounds and interactive didactics. Students will gain clinical experience in the diagnosis and management of acute medical disorders. Students are also encouraged to integrate and apply osteopathic principles and practices to the management of patients.
