MED 418 - MEDICINE SECONDARY ACTING INTERNSHIP

[152 Hours]

Students may elect to spend a second four-week block Acting Internship on the Internal Medicine. The goal of this rotation is for senior students to function as first-year house officers, developing clinical judgment skills by being placed in situations where they are directly responsible for patient care. This clerkship is performed under the close supervision and direction of Medicine house officers and faculty. Within the confines of this supervision, the student is encouraged to take on as much responsibility as possible, and is required to attend outpatient clinics and department conferences with the patient care team.
