Medical students who would like to do a clerkship at our program are invited to contact us. A 4-week medical student clerkship is offered to enhance the understanding of the many aspects of Family Medicine. The clerkship is designed to be flexible with opportunities for patient care that include both outpatient and inpatient experiences. Students will find eager teachers in our residents and faculty.
On the inpatient service, rotating students work as an integral part of the health care team caring for patients under the guidance of senior residents and attending physicians. Our inpatient service is distinct in the variety of patients we serve in terms of medical diagnoses, socioeconomic status, and cultural diversity. While on the inpatient service, students will experience the vast scope of Family Medicine both by caring for adult patients with chronic illnesses, postpartum patients, newborns, and ICU patients and functioning as a consultant.
Students will also be actively involved in evaluating and managing patients in the ambulatory setting and can anticipate exposure to the broad scope of family medicine (i.e. acute and chronic care, common office procedures, sick and well child care, counseling, and obstetrics/gynecology).
Students also have the opportunity to attend Grand Rounds and conferences.
Rotating students will experience a friendly, caring, and nurturing relationship with the residents, faculty, and staff.
Goal:
To enhance the medical student's skills in patient care across the broad spectrum of Family Medicine while broadening the understanding of the family physician's role in the health care system. The student will develop skills in all aspects of patient care, to include taking histories, conducting physical exams, building differentials, and developing and implementing care plans.
Objectives:
• Demonstrate interpersonal skills necessary to take a proper history
• Demonstrate clinical skills necessary to perform a proper physical
• Identify anomalies in the history, physical, labs, and tests during assessment and build a proper differential
• Demonstrate communication skills necessary to relate disease process, prevention, and treatment to the patient
• Identify the aspects of the family physician's role in providing patient care within the overall health care system
Evaluation:
Students will be given feedback by residents and faculty on their performance during the clerkship. As the end of the clerkship nears, faculty will meet with the student to discuss their experience. Evaluations required by the school will be promptly completed and returned.
Choosing a student clerkship is a great way to learn more about the unique opportunity offered at Baylor Family Medicine Residency at Garland.
