Ambulatory Care (AC) is a three-week rotation in which the student will participate in clinics workshops at CMS on Wednesdays and in clinics of internal medicine and its subspecialties each weekday except Wednesday. This may include evening clinics. If a a student misses a weekday clinic, a Saturday clinic will be assigned. Please complete the electronic log sheet by the last day of the rotation.
The AC course is pass/fail, dependent upon attendance at clinics and the criteria listed under "Ambulatory Care Black and White" which is handed out at orientation and posted on D2L.
Pay close attention to the dates, times, and locations of your clinics, as you may be at more than one clinic. It is your responsibility to arrive promptly to various sites. Dress professionally with lab coats and bring your equipment, paper and pen.
You will be expected to evaluate your own patients and present to the preceptor at your site. Occasionally, there may be "overcrowding" of the clinic preventing you to have your own office. if you see a patient with your preceptor, be an active participant not just a passive observer. Your medical education is what you make of it! Don’t forget, each patient is a textbook of medicine.
* Please call in advance to confirm clinic operation if you have a long drive ahead of you. Occasionally emergencies arise and I am not informed immediately. If you should have any questions or problems please call my office and speak with me or my staff coordinator.
AMBULATORY CARE COURSE MAJOR GOALS
* Knowledge of common medical problems addressed in internal medicine clinics.
