OMED 8425 Internal Medicine Sub-Internship Elective Clerkship
The purpose of this four-week experience is to provide the student with exposure to the commonly encountered cases in internal medicine in a hospital and/or ambulatory outpatient setting with the learner performing the duties that are typical of an intern. The student should be given primary responsibility for patients, with appropriate oversight, with the goal of preparing them for an internal medicine internship/residency. To accomplish this, the elective clerkship provides broad exposure to both chronic and acute problems, experience in appropriate consultation, diagnostic testing, patient education, and other procedures.
