Course Description The objectives of this preceptorship are to provide students with an advanced level of Family Practice experience and improve the student's approach to the wide range of clinical problems encountered in Family Medicine. Physician staff of the Family Medicine Clinic include three Board-Certified Family Physicians. The primary focus of patient care in the clinic is the outpatient evaluation and treatment of patients presenting with undifferentiated illnesses. Students will be assigned to work with the faculty during the rotation, and have an opportunity to see a wide variety of patient problems and treatment styles. As their skills develop, students are given the opportunity to see patients and develop diagnostic and therapeutic plans prior to presentation to the attending, who then reviews the history and examination and approves the final plans.
Where To Report Preceptor's Office. This can be done with any of our Family Medicine or Rural Medicine preceptors anywhere in Alabama.
Requirements Attendance at clinics, noon conferences and other as determined by the supervising faculty.
Evaluation Final review will be performed by the supervising faculty and will include input by other faculty dependent upon actual time spent with those individuals. Evaluation will be based upon a pass fail system. Completion of the UASOM clerkship evaluation form may be necessary to communicate strengths and any problems encountered.
