Our hospital is a unique academic medical center, as we are both a local community hospital as well as a tertiary/quaternary care medical facility, serving a large geographic region. As such, we are able to offer clinical exposure to a diverse array of pathophysiologic conditions. On the inpatient units, you will be challenged daily with patients in our step-down intensive care units, telemetry and general medical floors.

Our hospitalist services admit patients for all the subspecialties of medicine, offering learners a robust clinical experience.  Balancing your busy clinical schedule, is a comprehensive didactic lecture series covering core curricular topics, as outlined by the Clerkship Directors of Internal Medicine (CDIM) Curriculum Guide. Lectures are supplemented by hands-on, interactive experiences, such as physical diagnosis rounds, preceptor rounds, and clinical skills labs; including ECG interpretation, CXR interpretation and EBM fundamentals. 

We hope your internal medicine clerkship will be a positive and rewarding experience that furthers your professional skill-set and knowledge base. The staff and residents are here to assist in your educational journey; use them as your primary educational resources.

Ambulatory Internal Medicine
The ambulatory component of the internal medicine clerkship offers an introduction to office-based and subspecialty medicine. This four-week clinical rotation is divided evenly between the general internal medicine clinic and a subspecialty selective of your choice. While in the outpatient medicine clinic, students are given the opportunity to evaluate patients in a variety of situations, such as acute complaints, chronic disease management and health maintenance/disease prevention visits.

The subspecialty selective may occur purely in the ambulatory setting or as a combination of ambulatory and inpatient consults. Students may choose from any of the available subspecialties for this experience. Exposure to subspecialty medicine vastly increases the amount and depth of knowledge for specific disease processes. As such, students have used this opportunity to explore possible fields of interest, or to supplement their knowledge base. Students have uniformly found this clinical selective to be an exciting and rewarding experience.
