FCM 974 - Primary Care Selective in Family Practice
The Primary Care Selective in Family Practice is a four-week rotation in the fourth year where the student chooses the working site from a varied selection of primary care physicians in the community.
The purpose of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to enhance their clinical skills in primary care and practice health care delivery in the office and/or hospital. This clinical rotation allows additional opportunity for the student to work in the ambulatory and/or inpatient service under the direct supervision of a Primary Care Physician.
Students can select from diverse clinical practice sites in urban, suburban, and rural settings. At each site, students will see patients under the supervision of one or more clinical preceptors. Each student, however, will be assigned a principal preceptor who is responsible for overseeing the student’s learning experience and coordinating the evaluation.The student is expected to participate with a preceptor in all daily practice-related activities in the ambulatory, hospital, or other community settings.
Clinical activities during the rotation may also involve assessing patients in various other healthcare settings, including private homes, schools, nursing homes, shelters, and emergency rooms. Duration: Four weeks’ block rotation throughout the year
