FMMD 300 - FAMILY MEDICINE [152 Hours]
This required clerkship provides third-year
students with an introduction to the principles of Family
Medicine as practiced in a community-based ambulatory
setting or in a residency program. The student is assigned to
a clinical faculty member (also known as a preceptor) within
the State and may live in that community. He or she spends
most of the four weeks working directly in office-based
patient care under the supervision of the preceptor. During
this rotation, the student has the opportunity to see patients
of all ages as they present with any of the broad range of
medical problems seen by family physicians. It will be
significantly different from most other clinical rotations that
are part of the junior year in medical school. For one thing it
is primarily in the outpatient setting, rather than hospitalbased;
therefore, the type of medical problems that students
will see and the dynamics of health-care delivery will be
different. The patients, who present, will come with common
problems, chronic problems, and undifferentiated problems.
Any and all of these may have easily treated biomedical
etiologies, have psychosocial dimensions, or be the first
symptom of serious illness. Students will see patients that the
doctor has known for years or ones coming in for the first
time. They will see the doctor caring for whole families-
sometimes over several generations. In addition, students will
be able to appreciate the interactions of a family physician
with other specialists, support staff, ancillary health-care
providers, and a variety of community resources. Because the
practice of Family Medicine differs from that of hospitalbased,
tertiary care, this clerkship has something unique to
offer regardless of career choice. Students will be afforded an
in-depth view of ambulatory care and the manner in which
family physicians practice.
Teaching activities include faculty-conducted presentations
and clinical encounters including a musculoskeletal workshop,
supplemented by recommended readings. Evaluation is based
on the demonstration of clinical skills as observed by clinical
teachers, successful completion of a class project, and
satisfactory performance on the Subject Examination in
Family Medicine of the National Board of Medical Examiners.
Students may choose the site of their clerkship from a
number of options that include urban, suburban, and rural
communities across the state. Practices in under-served
areas, both rural and urban, are included as possible sites.

FMMD 415 - FAMILY MEDICINE AMBULATORY CARE [152 Hours]
This course provides students an experience in
the delivery of health care in an ambulatory setting. It may
take place in a Family Medicine residency or in a selected
private practice. During the four weeks, the student has the
opportunity, under supervision, to provide primary care to
patients ranging in age from infants to the elderly in a
comprehensive-care setting. These experiences emphasize
the importance of continuity of care and follow-up,
prevention, and patient education. The electives listed below
that focus on ambulatory care may also be used to satisfy the
school requirement, with approval of the course director.

This is done under the close supervision and direction of senior Family Medicine house officers and faculty. Within the confines of this supervision, the student is encouraged to take on as much responsibility as possible, including taking primary on-call duties. The acting intern is required to attend department conferences with the patient-care team.

Students are encouraged to take increasing amounts of responsibility while under the close supervision of hours staff and faculty. In addition to patient care skills, students will also enhance their communication skills, and develop a better appreciation of systems based practice due to their involvement as a more prominent member of the health care team. Students will continue to increase their medical knowledge and skills of practice-based learning through reading, faculty feedback, and attendance at conferences and didactic sessions.
