| Medical Student Clerkships |
Ambulatory |
- The clerkship begins with an orientation and "shadowing" experience with faculty to become familiar with normal operations in the family medicine office.
- The majority of the time is spent in one of our two family medicine model offices, interviewing and working up patients presenting for care under faculty supervision.
- The student will attend scheduled didactic curricular offerings (3-4 hours/wk).
- Community service to the Lynchburg Free Medical Clinic once every 2 weeks.
- May elect to take call with a senior family medicine resident.
- Additional experiences may be scheduled in the nursing home, videotaping an interview, going on a home visit or working in the office lab.
- The clerkship may be done at Lynchburg Family Medicine Center or Big Island Medical Center (our rural office) depending on availability of the site.
- Clerkships are 2 or 4 weeks in length.
