OCOM 8202 - Elective - Continuity in Family Medicine: Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship
The yearlong CFM-LIC program is available by special permission for third year medical students. Students work within a rural or urban underserved family medicine practice to experience the continuity of primary care across inpatient and outpatient settings with patients of all ages. Students collaborate with health care entities in the community, practice, management, practice quality improvement, and possibly research. Students are exposed to the role of the physician on the care team, including working with nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical assistants, nurses and other health professionals in and outside of the clinic setting. The goal is for students to develop rural/urban a continuity practice of their own under the direction of their site supervisor.
Credit Hours: 2
