IMED 401. Internal Medicine Clerkship.

The main goals of the internal medicine clerkship are to further develop the student’s ability to function as an increasingly independent, but supervised and safe, clinician in an interprofessional health care team. Students learn, while practicing, both for and from patients. Students, under the supervision of residents and attending physicians, are responsible for performing and documenting histories, physicals, lab and radiology data summaries, and patient problem lists for newly admitted patients, as well as patients being seen in consultation in the outpatient and non-internal medicine ward settings; and the ongoing care, management, follow-up and discharge planning of patients in each of the above settings.
