Clinical Immersion: Inpatient

3 units

Throughout Phase 1, students will have three three-week clinical immersions encompassing three settings: ambulatory/ED, procedural/surgical, and inpatient medical. On these rotations students will develop skills to learn these content areas in the clinical workplace, rather than in a classroom setting, which will create the foundation for expanded participation in discipline-specific provision of care in Phase 2. Because these goals are universal across all Immersions, the objectives, activity cards, and assessments are identical, regardless of the setting or site you are rotating on. In other words, you may learn about the health system and practice clinical skills through the window of neurosurgery, or pediatric emergency medicine, or cardiology, and in each case the goals will be to gain an understanding of clinical care and to practice learning in a clinical space.
