This Acting Internship on the Veterans Administration Hospital medical wards allows students to work in concert with the house staff team (assistant resident, intern, and one or two third-year medical students). The acting intern will be assigned new patients each admitting day and will be responsible for their care under the direction of the assistant resident. The acting intern's patients will not be worked up by the regular intern. The student will be expected to attend all of the functions and keep the same hours as the house staff. This should provide an intensive experience in ward medicine.
