Family and Community Medicine Clerkship
The six-week clerkship provides students with faculty-supervised exposure to the evaluation
and management of patients in ambulatory settings of family and community medicine
with undifferentiated health needs and chronic conditions.
Students are introduced to the evaluation and management of health problems routinely
encountered by primary care and family physicians. The fundamentals of Patient- and
Family-Centered Care (PFCC) and clinical problem-solving is emphasized in all patient-care
encounters. Patient encounters provide opportunities to experience the delivery of
health maintenance and comprehensive and longitudinal health care in diverse patient
populations spanning the entire life cycle. Clinical experiences and teaching are
