This is one half of the 13-week perioperative block in which students rotate through ambulatory, inpatient and operating room settings of the surgical services. High fidelity simulation opportunities reinforce concepts learned in the clinic, providing additional hands-on training.

During this 3-week rotation, students will learn the fundamentals of assessing, diagnosing, and treating major psychiatric illness as well as common medical and nervous system disorders related to psychiatry practice. Learners explore the interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors in patients' lives in a variety of settings, including the acute inpatient psychiatric unit, the psychiatric consultative service, and outpatient clinic.

This 6-week rotation increases understanding of outpatient medicine through engaging clinical experiences and high-value teaching workshops. Students take an active role in caring for patients across a range of practices -- including Family Medicine, Ambulatory Internal Medicine, and Geriatrics -- and learn to identify the shared goals and differentiators among these disciplines.

Clinical elective rotations for medical students.

Develops knowledge in fundamental neurological concepts. Builds competence in pertinent history-taking and examination skills to support recognition and initial management of neurological problems and emergencies. Based in small groups, students are expected to demonstrate self-directed learning.

Research

This course comprises a mix of one-on-one meetings with the student's physician coach to reflect on performance, assess strengths & weakness, & co-create learning plans for continued development of clinical skills. Students meet at regular intervals with their small group to jointly reflect on patient care experiences & learn from each other as they near completion of their journey to physicianhood.

Students participate in the care of critically ill patients in intensive care settings ranging from pediatrics to medical, surgical, and adult units. The focus is on the management of multisystem disease, and the treatment of respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and hemodynamic compromise.

ACEs are 4-week clinical rotations during which students develop advanced clinical skills as they take on increased responsibilities for the evaluation and management of patients. Students are integrated as members of the healthcare team, to meet patients' needs. Students exercise critical thinking as they develop treatment plans under supervision and receive feedback in preparation for day one of residency.

This required rotation provides students an opportunity to evaluate undifferentiated patients in the emergency department (ED). Students apply history taking and physical exam skills learned during Foundations of Clinical Medicine (FCM) and the third-year clerkships to an acute care setting.
