INDE 280 is a quarter-long course that introduces first-year medical students to quality improvement and primary care through participation in Stanford's Internal Medicine Resident Clinic. Students will be assigned to a clinical team and have opportunities to shadow clinicians, participate in case presentations and discussions, and gain exposure to the delivery of primary care. Shadowing schedules will be determined based on student and preceptor availability. Students will participate in a frontline quality improvement project within the clinic, collaborating with members of the clinical team to identify opportunities for improvement and enhance healthcare delivery and quality of care. Students who participate in INDE 280 will have priority for continuity preceptor placement in Ambulatory Medicine, Family Medicine, Geriatrics, and Palliative Care specialties as MS2+. Students who complete INDE 280 may optionally enroll in a subsequent quarter to further develop their quality improvement work into a scholarly project, culminating in a poster presentation and/or manuscript. Open to Medical Students only.
