Elective Title: 49YX706 — FAMILY MEDICINE AMBULATORY CARE ROTATION

Description:

This primary care ambulatory rotation is an excellent opportunity to finally function like the Family Doctor you've been waiting to be. In many ways, this is an outpatient sub-internship, based on your level of patient care responsibility. You will have the opportunity to evaluate and implement treatment plans on patients in the Family Medicine Center at the St. Vincent Joshua Max Simon Primary Care Center. On this rotation, you will work either directly with one of the residents/faculty in their continuity clinics, or as part of a team, functioning on an Open Access, or same-day appointment, system. You will also participate in weekly family medicine didactics.
