Requirements See Course Description.
Evaluation Students will be evaluated by the faculty preceptor on knowledge, skills, professional attitude and values. This course will be graded as a pass/fail experience using the standard School of Medicine evaluation form.
Notes We can take no more than 4 students at a time. They should be assigned one at a time to each of the three teams and then a second one added to one team and a second one added to the second team (in other words, balance the teams). The team with only one PGYII/III will only have one student, hence the limit of five and not six students. Students will be expected to take night call which will be every fourth or fifth night.
