Course Description
Students taking this elective will have the opportunity to experience the true essence and diversity of the practice of Family Medicine in an ambulatory setting and develop knowledge of the specialty. We aim to immerse students in the real-life daily workings of primary care in the community, exposing learners to a myriad of acute and chronic illnesses, as well as the art of practicing medicine tailored to an individual patient's needs. Students are expected to participate with their family physician preceptor in all health care related activities. These may include but are not limited to management of hospitalized patients, nursing home visits, home visits, and volunteer activities.
