Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships Seminar

1 credits · School of Medicine

This small group tutorial will cover patient care in a holistic manner from the complete care of the patient to understanding the clinical and basic science behind disease processes. Emphasis will be focused on looking at an illness from the patient's perspective with treatment plans that consider social and cultural issues, community resources, cost effectiveness, and health care systems issues such as transitional care between different sites. Students will consider the various different roles of the primary care provider in the care of patients. Students will also reflect on their experiences within the different longitudinal clinical learning sites and offer ongoing feedback to the program. Credit: 1. Poonam Sharma, MD
