The Family Medicine Clerkship is a 6 week ambulatory, primary care experience. Students work alongside their preceptors during all of their usual clinical activities in order to optimally experience the true nature of a family medicine practice. Because of this preceptorship experience, students often enjoy a close, collegial relationship with their preceptor and gain significant autonomy with their patients.
The first week is spent at the HSC campus in a variety of interactive and case-based activities, both in and out of the classroom. The next 4 1/2 weeks are spent in one of a variety of pre-approved, community-based practices of board-certified family physicians, located all across the U.S. Students return to the HSC campus for final activities and exams on the last Thursday and Friday of the rotation.
