PHRX 4057: Family Medicine Clerkship

Provides students with myriad experiences in the primary care field of family medicine and learn about the role of family medicine doctors in the community. Students will be able to identify the pillars of this specialty: continuity of care, care coordination, comprehensive care, and community service. Students will explore the different scopes of practice and populations family doctors serve. Students will develop and practice their patient care skills, develop differential diagnosis, preventive care plans for the most common diagnoses seen and managed by family medicine doctors in the community. Students will identify the role of culture in influencing health outcomes and illness, and demonstrate the ability to provide appropriate resources to patients for prevention and acute care. Students will demonstrate the ability to practice evidence-based medicine by formulating clear clinical questions, find the best sources of evidence, evaluate and appraise the evidence for validity and usefulness with respect to particular patients or populations, and determine when and how to integrate new findings into practice. Students will be able to collaborate effectively to provide family-centered, evidence-based patient care that is compassionate, culturally sensitive, and age appropriate and effective, both for health promotion and treatment of medical problems.
